Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.8-1~bpo50+1
Severity: normal
I'm trying to push out openoffice 3 from lenny backports to some lenny
machines, but it appears that I have to explicitly list each version of each
package, thereby introducing 'dependency hell.' perhaps puppet could use
aptitude instead of apt-get?
Example:
In my pp file, I have:
class debian_lenny_openoffice {
#20090609 oo3
$desired = "1:3.0.1-11~bpo50+2"
package {
"mozilla-openoffice.org" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-base-core" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-base" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-calc" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-common" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-core" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-draw" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-dtd-officedocument1.0": ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-emailmerge" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-evolution" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-filter-binfilter" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-gnome" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-gtk" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-help-en-gb" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-help-en-us" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-impress" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-java-common" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-kab" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-kde" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-math" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-officebean" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-report-builder-bin" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-style-andromeda" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-style-crystal" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-style-galaxy" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-style-hicontrast" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-style-industrial" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-style-tango" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-writer" : ensure => $desired;
"openoffice.org-pdfimport": ensure => "0.3.2+OOo3.0.1-11~bpo50+2";
"openoffice.org-presentation-minimizer": ensure =>
"1.0+OOo3.0.1-11~bpo50+2";
"openoffice.org-presenter-console": ensure => "1.0+OOo3.0.1-11~bpo50+2";
"openoffice.org-report-builder": ensure => "1:1.0.5+OOo3.0.1-11~bpo50+2";
"openoffice.org-wiki-publisher": ensure => "1.0+OOo3.0.1-11~bpo50+2";
}
}
But even this list isn't complete enough and gives errors like:
err:
//Node[default]/debian_lenny/debian_lenny_openoffice/Package[openoffice.org-core]/ensure:
change from 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 to 1:3.0.1-11~bpo50+2 failed: Could not update:

thanks
Hello,
I'm closing this bug.
The ability to set "aptitude" as the default provider for "package" is
available as a user configuration option, and I'm happy with "apt" as
the default.
