content variable seems like it's required for the init file

[jlove4m]

When I try to run this as-is I get:

Error: Must pass content to Apt::Conf[auto-upgrades] at /etc/puppet/modules/unattended_upgrades/manifests/init.pp:63 on node

If I modify it to (adding the content line)

  apt::conf { 'auto-upgrades':
    ensure   => absent,
    priority => 20,
    content  => '',
    require  => Package['unattended-upgrades'],
  }

It works.

I don't know whether this is something that should be fixed in the apt module since we're doing an "absent" here, but that's what I did in the short term to fix it.

in theory, this should be working, according to apt's source code

This shouldn't be needed. As per puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt@fe60980 since apt 2.0.0 up to and including the current version we only care about the content parameter if ensure is anything but absent.

Since we haven't heard back from the reporter and for now I'm convinced this is not an issue as long as you use a recent version of Apt I'm closing this. If this is a problem it should be fixed in Apt as that's where apt::conf comes from.
