Jira (PUP-2182) Package resource not working as expected in 3.5.0

Sean Edge commented on an issue   Re: Package resource not working as expected in 3.5.0 Peter Huene No worries. I care less about this since I have the workaround of including the arch in the package name "jre.x86_64" and that does what I want/expect. Yes, the openjdk package was already there, which was satisfying "jre" from a virtual package/whatprovides perspective. However, I want the package named "jre" specifically. [root@fw ~]# rpm -q jre jre-1.7.0_51-fcs.x86_64 [root@fw ~]# rpm -e jre [root@fw ~]# rpm -q puppet puppet-3.5.1-1.el6.noarch [root@fw ~]# cat /tmp/test.pp package { 'jre': ensure => 'latest' } [root@fw ~]# puppet apply /tmp/test.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for fw in environment production in 0.75 seconds Notice: Finished catalog run in 1.69 seconds [root@fw ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides jre java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.51-2.4.4.1.el6_5.x86_64 [root@fw ~]# rpm -q jre package jre is not installed You are correct, "latest" is a local repo in which we combine many packages from various vendors for our deployments. We mirror CentOS, Puppetlabs, PostgreSQL, etc. repos using mrepo. The "jre" package we've had to manually download, since Oracle doesn't make it easy for us to mirror, from Oracle's site because we've recently switched to CentOS from RHEL and we'll no longer be able to use the RH packaged version of Oracle Java. Option #3 sounds the most reasonable. It also has my vote. I can see how that could be a useful feature if you don't care what kind of JRE you get, you just want to ensure one is there.
