That's a good tip, but it does not relate to the OP's problem. Epoch 1 is
what he gets if he updates to the latest version currently available from
is repositories.

Check the epoch of the two packages. The epoch overrides all other version
comparison logic. If they have the same epoch, RPM considers them to be the
same version. I had that problem with the Oracle JDK RPMs. They all have the
epoch set to 2000, so it's impossible to either upgrade or install both
versions concurrently. I think "rpm -qip " will show it, but if not
you can do "rpm -qp --queryformat='%{EPOCH}\n' ".

The "1:" is an epoch number, as you probably recognize. I was a bit surprised that Puppet would require you to include it, but very surprised to find out that it fails even if you do. I do think it likely that the epoch number is what's tripping up Puppet, but that doesn't make it any less a bug. I recommend you file a ticket. Until that's fixed, your best available solution is probably to use 'latest', and to control the package version by controlling the contents of the repositories that your clients rely upon. To the extent that that implies keeping local (pseudo-)mirrors of the repositories you use, that's worth your while anyway.

Have you run that catalog with the --debug flag? It would be interesting
to see just what the provider is trying to do and how it fails.

This can work, but you should then define a condition such as
unless => "rpm -q java-sun-1.6.0-sun | grep -q 39-1jpp"
It's a pretty gross workaround though ;-) I'd be interested to learn why
the provider won't manage to do what you want.
Cheers,

Re: [Puppet Users] Trying to install a specific version of Java on Redhat
I should have added to my post that I've tried adding that "1:" as well to
the ensure line with the same results.
Any other ideas?
I've tried this workaround:
exec { "upgrade java":
command => "yum -d 1 -e 1 upgrade
java-1.6.0-sun-1:1.6.0.39-1jpp.4.el5_9.x86_64
java-1.6.0-sun-devel-1:1.6.0.39-1jpp.4.el5_9.x86_64 -y",
path=> "/usr/bin/"
}
...but it then runs every single time the puppet agent runs:
notice: /Stage[main]/Java/Exec[upgrade java]/returns: executed successfully

[Puppet Users] Trying to install a specific version of Java on Redhat
I have a class that looks like this:
class java {
package { "java-1.6.0-sun.x86_64":
ensure => '1.6.0.39-1jpp.4.el5_9',
}
}
...but it gives me this error:
err: /Stage[main]/Java/Package[java-1.6.0-sun.x86_64]/ensure: change from
1.6.0.33-1jpp.1.el5_8 to 1.6.0.39-1jpp.4.el5_9 failed: Could not update:
Failed to update to version 1.6.0.39-1jpp.4.el5_9, got version
1.6.0.33-1jpp.1.el5_8 instead at
/etc/puppet/modules/java/manifests/init.pp:5
However, if I change the class to just use ensure => 'latest', it will do
this:
notice: /Stage[main]/Java/Package[java-1.6.0-sun.x86_64]/ensure: ensure
changed '1.6.0.33-1jpp.1.el5_8' to '1:1.6.0.39-1jpp.4.el5_9'
So I know it's possible for the upgrade to work, but I don't want puppet
arbitrarily installing whatever the latest is, I want to ensure it's that
version.
Any ideas?
