If the yum configuration on your system is faulty then I > think it reasonable for Puppet to raise an error in response. My version is yum-2.4.1-11.slc4, its man says same as yours but I have a main section per repo, which is "correct/acceptable" as yum works perfectly and it's distro default. I've tested my conf (adding some empty main sections per repo ) in Centos 5 with yum 3.2.22 and yum still works fine, ignoring those section. # yum install foo Loading "changelog" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin [...] No Match for argument: foo Nothing to do > I assume that yum itself is not complaining, so perhaps it is silently > ignoring the [main] sections in your .repo files.

Ok, I will do that, but seems strange to me that puppet is failing when yum doesn't resulting in puppet more restrictive than yum... > Alternatively, if yum is in fact using all those [main] sections then > you may be able to work around the problem by, for example, merging > all the [main] sections together into yum.conf (if that's indeed > equivalent to what yum does with them). > Cheers, > John Many thanks for your reply John, Cheers, Arnau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
