Description
If I create a symlink using puppet and specify an owner/group, puppet will set the owner on the target of the symlink, not on the symlink.

I tested this on 3.x and 2.7.18 and couldn’t reproduce. Can you give any more information that could help us track down, maybe and example from your manifests?
