    Description

      Hi,

      We're trying to install a package but the title has got square brackets which seems to make Puppet blow up, for example:

      package

      { "Windows Server AppFabric v1.1 CU4 [KB 2800726]": ensure => installed, source => $fullInstallerPath, install_options => $install_options, }

      Trying to run this results in error "invalid tag". We've tried escaping the brackets but that doesn't work either.

      Even running puppet resource form the command prompt gives an error:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin>puppet resource package
      Error: Could not run: Invalid tag "microsoft sql server 2005 compact edition "

      The actual title in control panel for is "microsoft sql server 2005 compact edition [ENU]". It would seem resource titles with square brackets cause issues.

      Is this is a bug in Puppet? Can anyone suggest a work around as this kind of renders Puppet not very useful for us without being able to install products.

      Puppet agent 3.4.3

      Thanks

      Dan
