It's not quite yet working. On the first try, you'll get an error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/bbb-record-core_0.80ubuntu104_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

On re-running apt-get dist-upgrade, you'll see a more useful error message:

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bbb-playback-slides: Depends: bbb-record-core but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Running apt-get update -f will finish apt-get dist-upgrade's job, after which you can run Puppet again to complete the installation.

It's not the one-run-install I want, but it's a start.

Fixed broken BigBlueButtonURL in bbb_api_conf.jsp. It might still be broken if $bbb_hostname != $fqdn, but I'm back to a working configuration.
