>Description:
The pkgin provider shipped with the ruby193-puppet-3.1.1 package has the 
feature "versionable", however when you instruct the provider to ensure => 
"<version_number>", it does not install the provided version number and will 
only install the lastest version available.

Although the official puppet docs say the pkgin provider does not provide 
"versionable", listed here: 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#package-provider-pkgin , 
the patch here adds versionable feature to the ruby193-puppet-3.1.1 package: 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/sysutils/puppet/patches/patch-ad?annotate=1.3

Thank you for your time.

>How-To-Repeat:
Set any package where multiple version numbers are available in pkgin to ensure 
=> "<version_number>", as in this example:

package { "nodejs":
  ensure => "0.10.11",
  provider => 'pkgin',
}

Available nodejs packages on this box before running puppet:

# pkgin search nodejs
nodejs-0.8.25        V8 JavaScript for clients and servers
nodejs-0.6.21        Evented I/O for V8 javascript
nodejs-0.10.7        V8 JavaScript for clients and servers
nodejs-0.10.18       V8 JavaScript for clients and servers
nodejs-0.10.11       V8 JavaScript for clients and servers

Run puppet agent -t --debug to see the following output (if the package is not 
installed, it will show the following):

Debug: Executing '/opt/local/bin/pkgin list'
Debug: Executing '/opt/local/bin/pkgin search nodejs'
Debug: Executing '/opt/local/bin/pkgin -y install nodejs'
Notice: /<snip>/Package[nodejs]/ensure: created

Now, check which version of the package installed shows it installs the latest, 
not what was set to ensure => "<version_number>":
# node -v
v0.10.18

Run puppet agent -t --debug again:

Debug: Executing '/opt/local/bin/pkgin list'
Debug: Executing '/opt/local/bin/pkgin -y install nodejs'
Notice: /<snip>/Package[nodejs]/ensure: ensure changed 'present' to '0.10.11'

However, still at the latest package:
# node -v
v0.10.18
