Issue #1720 has been updated by R P Herrold.

Also there is a process problem here ... the content in any remote archive not 
under the management of the using entity is volatile, and may disappear at any 
time 

The process part of this 'issue' is readily solveable by a person running their 
mirror locally of the desired content --

Upstreams retire content.  If a given management approach is counting on being 
able to access a specific version, run a mirror under your own control

Bug #1720: The package resource type doesn't notice installed packages when 
more than one is installed
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1720

Author: Trevor Hemsley
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: package
Target version: Statler
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 
Branch: 


On Redhat systems using yum as the package provider, we have a class that says

<pre>
class hpasm {
# This class is meant to keep dependancies for the correct build of the various 
hp/compaq components
        package {"kernel-smp-devel":
                ensure => "2.6.9-67.0.1.EL",
        }
}
</pre>

and rpm -q kernel-smp-devel reports

kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.1.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.20.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL

as installed. However puppetd --test --noop says

notice: //Node[basicnode]/hpasm/Package[kernel-smp-devel]/ensure: is 
2.6.9-55.0.9.EL, should be 2.6.9-67.0.1.EL (noop)

I think this is probably a bug since puppet seems to stop looking after the 
first rpm it finds
