Package conflict on Debian

[uu1101]

Nginx has been recently split in Debian into nginx-common, nginx-full, etc. These packages include some useful modules such as AuthPAM, which I make use of.

Commit a97e038 made Debian fetch from upstream APT repository. Unfortunately, upstream packages conflict with current Debian stable:

Preparing to replace nginx 1.2.1-2.2 (using .../nginx_1.4.1-1~wheezy_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement nginx ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.4.1-1~wheezy_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/init.d/nginx', which is also in package nginx-common 1.2.1-2.2
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.4.1-1~wheezy_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Although the problem can be readily solved by Apt pinning, I think it would be convenient to be able to opt-out of using upstream packages (or, better yet, opt-in to using them) and use Debian's instead.

Hi,
i did a pull request that maybe helps you out with this issue.
Have a look at PR #89

Now it could be solved by specifying manage_repo

class { 'nginx': 
    manage_repo => false
}

or you can override the nginx package name (nginx-light from your distribution repository would be installed)

class { 'nginx': 
    manage_repo    => false,
    package_name   => 'nginx-light'
}

It should work when #152 is closed.

@uu1101, as deric mentioned above you can now specify the package name:

class { 'nginx':
  manage_repo  => false,
  package_name => 'nginx-light'
}

You can set manage_repo and package_name when declaring the nginx class, the nginx::package class or the nginx::package::debian class depending on how you're using it.

Could you close this if the current module meets your requirements? This code's in v0.0.6.

@jfryman while you're checking into issues, this can be closed. There are a couple of others that can be closed too, I'll ping you on those as well.

Thank you very much!
