I guess I need to contain <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/main/manifests/update.pp>

but you can't, because class is private :slightly_smiling_face:

apt::source sends the notify here <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/main/manifests/source.pp#L162>

yeap it is private and I shouldn't even declare it from my mods

thus I came up with the require part but it looked hackish and wanted to check for better alternatives

not a debian person, sorry, but where that apt::update class is included?

but I still don't know the root cause of the problem, why the exec is not triggered after apt::source installs the definition

puppetlabs says put dependency on the class

<https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/8927af46c0bb430be677bc919323c133204a253d/README.md#adding-new-sources-or-ppas>

imho, that doesn't look right, they should have contained it

ok then I will simply change the require to `Class['apt::update']`

You usually want to put something like `include apt` and `Class['apt::update'] -&gt; Class['other::things']` early on

so I switched to contain, removed the require from code and I saw the same error.

funny enough we do have
```
Class['apt::update'] -&gt; Package &lt;| provider == 'apt' |&gt;````
in our code base, in another module which is also declared from the same metaprofile that the filebeat module is declared. So I don't understand why the collector didn't do the trick and I had to add the require in the package resource so it depends on `Class['apt::update']`

Because it works only where provider is explicitly set to `apt`

<https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/main/manifests/init.pp#L204>

I found this one <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/issues/210>

<https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/issues/147>

in yum world, this works without having to bother with any other dependencies or collectors
```class profile::yum {
  contain yum

class profile::server {
  require profile::yum```

```➜ cat site-modules/filebeat/manifests/install.pp
class filebeat::install {
  package { 'filebeat':
    ensure  =&gt; $filebeat::package_ensure,
    require =&gt; Class['apt::update'],
  }
}```
solves the problem as well

well at least I am using a documented hack

Suppose I add require =&gt; Yumrepo , if I don't manage it with yum hiera
