I may not understand the issue you are having, but if you just install the package using a package promise, it should get the latest from the repositories *if* the system repository info is up to date. So just ensuring that this info is the latest will solve your problem. -- natxo _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
