have a look at the code @ lib/puppet/provider/package/yum.rb you'll see that the yum provider inherits from the rpm provider and doesn't override the uninstall/absent method. Hence it uses the one from the rpm provider. So you could add an overrided method of uninstall. (and propose it to the -dev list?!) While looking at the code and http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#package you'll also see that the yum provider is purgeable and that the yum provider has an own purge method. So if this would fit your needs you can set ensure to purged and it would use yum -y erase $package cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
