Replace sources.list not working

[nem8]

Describe the Bug

According to https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt#replace-the-default-sourceslist-file i should be able to replace existing sources.list file with one containing the specified apt repositories.
This does not work, it will create a file in sources.list.d tho..

Expected Behavior

I expected it to replace sources.list with content provided, not create a new sources.list.d/ file

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create or add code in puppet like:
   apt::source {
   "archive.debian.org-${facts['os']['distro']['codename']}":
   location => 'http://archive.debian.org/debian',
   repos => 'main contrib non-free',
   }
2. Assign manifest file to object in foreman.
3. Run puppet agent -t on client

Environment

• Debian 9
• Puppet 6

Additional Context

Im testing this out as i need to change to the archive repo on all debian 9 servers.
Documentation states that apt::source will edit sources.list.d , but examples say that it will replace sources.list.
It didnt replace sources.list :(

The module works by managing files in sources.list.d. The end result is equivalent to having everything in sources.list.

So, to use the module for managing archive repos you would have to delete source.list and then let the module create archive repo in source.list.d?

[kenyon]

The module does this for you.

With purge you mean? I have other repos not manage by the module so i wont want to do that, but I could do a file delete and let it create archive repo..
