Fix to install failure's on Ubuntu

[siwilkins]

Hi.

As described here: https://chrislea.com/2013/03/15/upgrading-from-node-js-0-8-x-to-0-10-0-from-my-ppa/, the node.js package in Chris Lea's PPA now contains npm. Requiring npm separately causes Ubuntu to fallback to it's own packaged version, which requires an earlier version of node.js. This patch causes the npm package to not be required if using Chris's PPA.

Any chance you can rebase this on master? I can't merge it despite all the +1's as it's got conflicts. :)

Rebase it and I'll get this sorted for you.

I've now merged the pending changes back into mine, so hopefully it's good to merge back.

Cheers,
Si

And merged, hope that helps all you ubuntu users :)

I think there is a issue with the logic $::operatingsystem != 'ubuntu' or $::lsbdistcodename == 'Precise' this will install the package if the OS Release is Precise, I need to not install it while on Precise

Switching it to $::operatingsystem != 'ubuntu' or $::lsbdistcodename != 'Precise' should be all that's needed

amazon EC2 Ubuntu,
Just installed "Unpacking nodejs (from .../nodejs_0.10.17-1chl1raring1_amd64.deb) ..."
apt-get install npm
npm : Depends: nodejs (>= 0.6.19dfsg1-3) but it is not going to be installed

If you could all test #45 I would appreciate it (I don't use nodejs so I want to make sure I didn't bungle this for you all)
