In this case installed or skipped using the standard name for a package to be installed or _skip to skip a test.
Some sections can have several options in that case the skip flag maybe passed to the test. e.g.
- section_1/cis/1.3.2 - aide_scan_type - can be cron or timer depending on site policy
- section_1/cis/1.8 - need to review the MOTD and issue files for bespoke content
- section_1/cis_1.10/cis_1.10.yml - Has gdm either not installed or configured default to not installed and skipped configured.
- section_2/cis_2.2/cis_chrony_2.2.1.1.yml - this is chosen between ntp of chrony in the goss file
