Issue #22557 has been updated by Josh Partlow.
Status changed from Investigating to Needs More Information
Assignee changed from Andrew Parker to William Van Hevelingen
Hi William,
Following up on Andy's point, it does look like the fact that you could ever
successfully submit an array of names to the dpkg provider is an implementation
accident, and in fact will fail on 3.2.4 if you mix packages in different
states, because, no matter what, query is operating on a single hash of final
state. It only works if both packages happen to have the same state.
For example:
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# puppet --version
3.2.4
Using 3.2.4 I ensure tree and apg are present (they weren't to begin with):
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# puppet apply --debug -e "package { 'test': name =>
['tree', 'apg'], ensure=> present }"
...
Info: Applying configuration version '1380159223'
...
Debug: Prefetching apt resources for package
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat ${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n tree apg'
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold
install tree apg'
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[test]/ensure: created
...
Notice: Finished catalog run in 1.77 seconds
...
And the packages are created. Then I remove tree.
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# puppet apply --debug -e "package { 'test': name =>
['tree'], ensure=> absent }"
...
Info: Applying configuration version '1380159310'
...
Debug: Prefetching apt resources for package
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/apt-get -y -q remove tree'
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[test]/ensure: removed
...
Notice: Finished catalog run in 1.30 seconds
...
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# tree
-bash: /usr/bin/tree: No such file or directory
Then I repeat the first apply to ensure both tree and apg are present:
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# puppet apply --debug -e "package { 'test': name =>
['tree', 'apg'], ensure=> present }"
...
Info: Applying configuration version '1380159404'
...
Debug: Prefetching apt resources for package
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat '${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat ${Status} ${Package}
${Version}\n tree apg'
...
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.09 seconds
...
The tree package is not installed, because dpkg-query provides apg's output
first, and that is matched by the provider parser as 'ok' installed.
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# tree
-bash: /usr/bin/tree: No such file or directory
root@vom1yp3sdx3gcgm:~# apg
Please enter some random data (only first 8 are significant)
(eg. your old password):>
squiralp3Oct (squir-alp-THREE-Oct)
itvasaquiUp1 (it-vas-a-qui-Up-ONE)
FercIph9 (Ferc-Iph-NINE)
EbWuacyek0 (Eb-Wu-ac-yek-ZERO)
porjyerbUt6 (porj-yerb-Ut-SIX)
Libcyoj5 (Lib-cyoj-FIVE)
So it seems clear that this never worked in a reliable way.
The next question is, is this accidental functionality being depended on by
anyone? And are their alternative ways of handling this?
