Issue #1656 has been updated by David Miller. Status changed from Duplicate to Re-opened
These bugs can't be duplicates of each other. One of them has to stay open. :) (or get closed for some other reason other than duplicate). I'm surprised the tracker actually let you do that. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1656: Puppet rpm/yum handler cannot deal with 2 packages with the same name and a different version http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1656 Author: Robert Lazzurs Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: package Target version: Affected version: 0.24.4 Keywords: Branch: Hello, I have hit an issue where puppet cannot manage the the facilities provided to it by rpm/yum. I tried to use puppet to ensure an extra kernel package would be installed on a system by adding the following line package { kernel-xen: ensure => "2.6.18-92.1.6.el5" } However when running the manifest on the server I get the following message err: //Node[vfuk3]/productionsys/production/Package[kernel-xen]/ensure: change from 2.6.18-53.el5 to 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 failed: Could not update: Failed to update to version 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5, got version 2.6.18-53.el5 instead at /var/lib/puppet/modules/production/manifests/init.pp:17 then after the initial puppet run the follow is reported by rpmquery [r...@vfuk3 ~]# rpmquery kernel-xen kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 So clearly puppet has managed to install the package however due to the first time also finding another kernel-xen package installed it took the version of the first package it found and assumed the new version it had requested was not installed. RPM does support installing two packages with the same name and different version for good reasons, if puppet is to manage rpm based systems it should too. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
