Ubuntu – Using Puppet apt module

aptpuppetUbuntu

I'm an absolute beginner at Puppet, and I'm having an issue when I try to install a package via the apt-module. 

class newrelic {
        apt::source {
                'newrelic':location => 'http://apt.newrelic.com/debian/',
                repos => 'non-free',
                key => '548C16BF',
                key_source => 'https://download.newrelic.com/548C16BF.gpg',
                include_src => false,
                release => 'newrelic',
        }
        package {
                'newrelic-sysmond':ensure => 'present',
                notify => Service['newrelic-sysmond'],
                require => Class['apt::source'],
        }
        service {
                'newrelic-sysmond':ensure => 'running',
                enable => true,
                hasrestart => true,
                hasstatus => true,
                require => Exec['newrelic_config'],
        }
        exec {
                'newrelic_config':path => '/bin:/usr/bin',
                command => "/usr/sbin/nrsysmond-config --set license_key=xxxxxxx",
                user => 'root',
                group => 'root',
                require => Package['newrelic-sysmond'],
                notify => Service['newrelic-sysmond'],
        }
}

This is the error I receive:

Warning: Scope(Class[Apt::Update]): Could not look up qualified variable '::apt::always_apt_update'; class ::apt has not been evaluated
Warning: Scope(Class[Apt::Update]): Could not look up qualified variable 'apt::update_timeout'; class apt has not been evaluated
Warning: Scope(Class[Apt::Update]): Could not look up qualified variable 'apt::update_tries'; class apt has not been evaluated

Error: Could not find dependency Class[Apt::Source] for Package[newrelic-sysmond] at /home/jeroen/puppet/modules/newrelic/manifests/init.pp:16

Any idea what I'm doing wrong in my module?

You need to add include apt at the top of your class, before the apt::source declaration: the error is saying it can't find apt::things because it doesn't know what the higher scope apt is.

The include apt will use various defaults, if you want to change them you'll need to instead use a declaration such as:

class { 'apt':
    always_apt_update => true,
}

...for example. More info on the forge page.

Also, your require is wrong: you need to specify the name as well, so I think it should be Apt::Source['newrelic'] instead of Class['apt::source'].
