Solaris installs point to an old package, and have a dependency on net-tools

[greenhulkmatt]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet:
• Ruby:
• Distribution:
• Module version: 7.3.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

if $facts['osfamily'] == 'Solaris' {
     class { '::splunk::params' :
       build => $solaris_build,
     }
 }

 class { '::splunk::forwarder' :
   package_ensure => 'latest',
 }

What are you seeing

The package version that the module selects is /opt/staging/splunk/splunkforwarder-7.3.1.1-8e225e1518e2-solaris-8-sparc.pkg

The -solaris-8-sparc.pkg is set in this case statement in params.pp

    'Solaris sun4v': {
      $package_suffix          = "${version}-${build}-solaris-8-sparc.pkg"
      $forwarder_package_name  = 'splunkforwarder'
      $enterprise_package_name = 'splunk'
    }

Unless I am missing it there are not any solaris-8-sparc.pkg files provided by splunk since the 6.2.6 version.

Also, for the SunOS kernel the module requires a net-tools package, which is not required for Solaris as far as I can tell. (Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken here).

What behaviour did you expect instead

I expected the module to select the appropriate package for Solaris 10 and 11
For Solaris 10: -solaris-10-sparc.pkg.Z
For Solaris 11: -solaris-11-sparc.p5p

I also expected the net-tools requirement to not be enforced on Solaris hosts.
