Re: package: version => "latest", looks not work after package new version released.

Certainly you have the right idea. The documentation mentions using 
"latest" for the version attribute when policy is "present".

https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.18/reference-promise-types-packages.html#version

I tried a package which needed upgrading for me an an ubuntu 20 box, unzip, 
and it worked fine with a similar policy.

I added the ppa for google chrome: 

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo 
apt-key add -                                                              
                                                                            
          
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ 
stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/goog
le.list'  

I installed your 105 version of chrome from 
https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb 
and then ran policy with "google-chrome-stable" specified with version 
latest.

The google-chrome-stable package was updated to 107.

I used default masterfiles from an enterprise 3.18.1 hub install (should be 
identical masterfiles as community) and changed services/main.cf to this:

bundle agent main
{
  packages:
    "google-chrome-stable"
      policy => "present",
      version => "latest",
      package_module => apt_get;
}

Can you make an agent run with more logging such as "cf-agent -Kv > 
/tmp/cfagent-verbose.log" and search for "BEGIN bundle install_packages" as 
well as a line like "BEGIN parsing file: 
/var/cfengine/.../install_packages.cf"?

I am wondering if somehow that file and/or bundle is not included in the 
default policy set run by "cf-agent -K" and that somehow 
google-chrome-stable was installed in another way or before some other 
changes happened to your policy.
