Issue #20922 has been reported by Arces Networks. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20922: Duplicate package names from different providers https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20922
* Author: Arces Networks * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.1.1 * Keywords: package * Branch: ---------------------------------------- In case if someone uses different providers to install packages, last ones might have same names. For example: in ubuntu you have apt package for gearman server named "gearman" as well as pip package named "gearman" that provides python libraries to deal with gearman server. In current example there was a workaround (gearman apt package is an empty package that depends on "jearman-job-server", "gearman-tools" and "gearman-server" packages), however, there might be situations, where packages have exactly same name and no workaround is available. Adding parameter "name" to definition doesn't make any good - puppet still uses value from "name" parameter as Package name. Is there any way to overcome this issue in puppet? Maybe it would be a good idea to add parameter like "package" to explicitly define package name? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
