Hi,
I'm using yum as our package provider and having an issue. Puppet is
complaining of the version, this is the code I'm trying to implement:
$snmp_version = "5.3.2.2"
package { "net-snmp": ensure => "${snmp_version}"; }
On the client I got:
debug: //Node[client.example.com]/snmp::base/Package[net-snmp]: Changing
ensure
debug: //Node[client.example.com]/snmp::base/Package[net-snmp]: 1 change(s)
debug: Package[net-snmp](provider=yum): Ensuring => 5.3.2.2
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0
-y install net-snmp-5.3.2.2' *(1)*
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm -q net-snmp
--nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION}

' *(2)*
err: //Node[client.example.com]/snmp::base/Package[net-snmp]/ensure: change
from 5.3.2.2-7.el5_4.2 to 5.3.2.2 failed: Could not update: Failed to update

Skipping because of failed dependencies
The package is installed*(1)* but the error is still shown at the time of
validation*(2)*.
Looking at the code I found:
in .../provider/package/yum.rb:
def install
---- chop lines ---
* is = self.query*
unless is
raise Puppet::Error, "Could not find package %s" % self.name
end
# FIXME: Should we raise an exception even if should == :latest
# and yum updated us to a version other than @param_hash[:ensure] ?
if should && should != is[:ensure]
raise Puppet::Error, "Failed to update to version #{*should*}, got
version #{*is[:ensure]*} instead"
end
in .../provider/package/rpm.rb the query define comment says it will provide
the "version-release"
# Find the fully versioned package name and the version alone. Returns
# a hash with entries :instance => fully versioned package name, and
#* :ensure => version-release*
*def query*
The validation is made on what is provided in the ensure
attribute($snmp_version) against "version-release" installed. I think it
makes sense when somebody defines something like ensure =>
"${snmp_version}-${snmp-release}", but not in my use case.
I would like to hear comments of my use case as it could probably would be a
valid feature request.
Thanks!
I'm Running(still) 0.24.8 on client and master.
