I am setting DefaultPkgMgr.

In the output from cfagent -d 1 -d 2 -v

I see where it says:

LVALUE DefaultPkgMgr
HandleLVALUE(DefaultPkgMgr) in action Control Defintions:
EQUALS =
LEFTBRACK
RVAL-VAROBJ rpm
ExpandVarstring(rpm)
Assign variable [DefaultPkgMgr=rpm] when redhat)

I also see this:
DEFINED PACKAGE CHECKS

PACKAGE NAME: vim-enhanced2
 Package database: rpm
 IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120
 Matches any package version.
 Define
 ElseDefine needVimEnhanced

Still no success though :(

This is 2.1.5 of cfengine.
