NAME

       cdist-type__package_dpkg - Manage packages with dpkg

DESCRIPTION

       This  type  is used on Debian and variants (like Ubuntu) to install packages that are provided locally as
       *.deb files.

       The object given to this type must be the name of the deb package.  The filename of the deb  package  has
       to   follow   Debian  naming  conventions,  i.e.   ${binary:Package}_${Version}_${Architecture}.deb  (see
       dpkg-query(1) for details).

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       state  present or absent, defaults to present.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       source path to the *.deb package

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

       purge-if-absent
              If this parameter is given when state is absent, the package is  purged  from  the  system  (using
              --purge).

EXPLORER

       pkg_state
              Returns the full package name if package is installed, empty otherwise.
