[Puppet Users] Re: Painful packages

Hi LenR,
You do not required to uninstalled the package if you want to upgrade 
it.
Puppet package resource automatically upgrade/install the* latest version 
package* present in the yum repos, if you specify ensure = 'latest'.
You can also specify the package version along with name and make ensure = 
present.
 
Thanks and Regards,

 some repo ensured present...

 package {zabbix-agent, zabbix-sender, zabbix-get:
 ensure = latest
 }

 The problem is that a prior repo had all 3 replacement components in the 
 same rpm, so I can't just upgrade from 1.8 era to 2.x. I would add 
 ordering to this also.

 Thanks

It is entirely possible that the manifest code you presented will do what 
you want, but it depends on details of the new and old packaging, and 
perhaps on other packages that may be installed.  If it doesn;t work then 
you'll need to provide some information about what goes wrong for us to 
give you any useful advice.

That is correct, normally... this one won't upgrade via yum due to
dependencies, puppet isn't the problem, but I think it's going to be the
solution :-)
