Provider should attempt to read uninstall_options for package resource when provider not explicitly defined

Normal

When a provider is not specified in a package resource, but it can be determined automatically, uninstall_options should be read and used if supported by the selected provider.
My test case for this was on CentOS7 attempting to uninstall mariadb-libs, which needs `--nodeps` specified in my case or it fails because of a dependency from Postfix.
From reading the documentation here, it seemed that this code should work:
package { 'mariadb-libs':
ensure => absent,
uninstall_options => ['--nodeps'],

So was the output you saw that Puppet was selecting another provider which did not support the uninstall_options flag?

Title: Message Title Kirk Madera commented on PUP-7023 Re: Provider should attempt to read uninstall_options for package resource when provider not explicitly defined I didn't find any output directly related to this, including with --debug on. An error was eventually hit because of the dependency issue and the package would not remove. The error displayed was the error from yum that the package couldn't be removed due to dependencies. My assumption is that it's automatically picking the rpm provider but probably after the check runs for whether or not the provider supports uninstall_options, or a similar scenario.

Title: Message Title Branan Riley commented on PUP-7023 Re: Provider should attempt to read uninstall_options for package resource when provider not explicitly defined I believe the actual issue here is that Puppet would have selected the 'yum' provider instead of the 'rpm' provider. The yum provider does currently support uninstall_options. We should likely add that support to the yum provider. For now, explicitly specifying the provider is generally better if you're using install_options or uninstall_options, since the automatically-selected provider could change in the future anyway.
