puppet-aptitude

puppet-aptitude is a reusable puppet module for ubuntu servers that:

  • Installs aptitude and ensures it is kept up-to-date.
  • Updates the aptitude package list, so that you can install any version of any package.
  • Optionally allows you to keep all packages up-to-date (system-wide).

Using puppet-aptitude is easy, and takes about 2 minutes to get up and running.
