Is anyone using ReturnsZero() sucessfully?  Since I have upgraded it
appears to be broken :(

Has anything happened on this issue?

I just upgraded from 2.0.7p3 to 2.1.5 and now my ReturnsZero statements
don't seem to work anymore :(


    groups:

        # The web server is called httpd in Red Hat 8.0 forward
        hasWebServer_rh8 = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/rpm -q --quiet httpd) )
        # The web server is called apache in Red Hat 7.x
        hasWebServer_rh7 = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/rpm -q --quiet apache) )
        # See if phpMyAdmin is installed
        has_phpMyAdmin = ( ReturnsZero(/bin/rpm -q --quiet phpMyAdmin) )

    shellcommands:

        webServer.redhat_7.!hasWebServer_rh7::
            "/usr/sbin/up2date apache"
            "/sbin/chkconfig httpd on"
            "/sbin/service httpd start"

        webServer.redhat_8.!hasWebServer_rh8::
            "/usr/sbin/up2date httpd"
            "/sbin/chkconfig httpd on"
            "/sbin/service httpd start"

        # Install phpMyAdmin if a phpMyAdmin server
        phpMyAdminServer.!has_phpMyAdmin::
            "/usr/sbin/up2date phpMyAdmin"


After upgrading to 2.1.5, none of my ReturnsZero commands are working.
The classes are not being created.
