The 'pip' package name is ambiguous on Gentoo, with options 'app-misc/pip' and 'dev-python/pip', resulting in the following error during installation: > Error: /Stage[main]/Python::Install/Package[pip]: Could not evaluate: > More than one package with the specified name [pip], please use the > category parameter to disambiguate The error message directs us to use the `category` parameter, which this module already did; however, `category` is a "read-only parameter set by the package" [1]. The correct way to disambiguate this package is to use the full package name, 'dev-python/pip'. [1] https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/types/package.html#package-attribute-category
