I encountered this when setting up memcached to be installed through bcfg2. I mistakenly copy/pasted too much from my Bundler/memcached.xml to my Rules/memcached.xml and ran into this problem.

Bundler/memcached.xml

<Bundle name='memcached'>
        <Package name='memcached' />

        <Path name='/etc/memcached.conf' />

        <Service name='memcached' />
</Bundle>

Problematic Rules/memcached.xml

<Rules priority='0'>
        <Group name='rails-server'>
                <Package name='memcached' />
                <Service type='deb' status='on' name='memcached' />
        </Group>
</Rules>

With this Rules/memcached.xml (above, labelled problematic), bcfg2 reports:

# bcfg2 -vqe
Loaded tool drivers:
 APT      Action   DebInit  POSIX    Upstart
The following entries are not handled by any tool:

Fixed Rules/memcached.xml

<Rules priority='0'>
        <Group name='rails-server'>
                <Service type='deb' status='on' name='memcached' />
        </Group>
</Rules>

With the spurious (duplicate) <Package ... > element removed from Rules/memcached.xml, everything works correctly and memcached is installed and managed by bcfg2.

Note that both of the files above (both the problematic and the fixed versions of the Rules/memcached.xml file) pass repository validation via bcfg2-repo-validate. As well, bcfg2-server doesn't produce any noticeable errors in syslog when serving the problematic version of the Rules/memcached.xml file (soljr suggested that it should be complaining about "the entry being served by multiple generators", but I did not observe that error message on my configuration).

Software in use was:

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Package Name         Package Version
bcfg2                1.1.0-1+r5916~testing1~lucid1
bcfg2-server         1.1.0-1+r5916~testing1~lucid1
memcached            1.4.2-1ubuntu3

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/bcfg2-repo-validate", line 103, in <module>
    print("Failed to parse %s: %s" % (plist, e))
NameError: name 'plist' is not defined

APTSource doesn't support <RawURL></RawURL> syntax (YUMSource does).
