Aptly package install fails 1st time Puppet runs

[roccatgaming]

I use this module in my application and every time I ran Puppet for the 1st time, it fails to install aptly. Is this a know-issue or it's only happening for me?

Here is a snippet from the output during the Puppet run:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Aptly/Apt::Source[aptly]/Apt::Key[Add key: B6140515643C2AE155596690E083A3782A194991 from Apt::Source aptly]/Apt_key[Add key: B6140515643C2AE155596690E083A3782A194991 from Apt::Source aptly]/ensure: created

Hi @roccatgaming, thanks for opening this issue. I think this is a problem with a module.

On the first Puppet run, we add an apt::source resource for http://repo.aptly.info. In the output above you can see this runs Scheduling refresh of Class[Apt::Update] which means that later in the Puppet run apt-get update will run which will tell your system where to install Aptly from.

However apt-get install aptly runs before the apt-get update which is why it breaks.
