If the forthcomming zypper-provider only supports to install packages it may
come to such situations:
zypper install -y sendmail
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
Problem: exim-4.69-70.13.x86_64 conflicts with sendmail provided by
sendmail-8.14.3-50.9.i586
Solution 1: deinstallation of exim-4.69-70.13.x86_64
Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing sendmail
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/C]: c
Puppet will always choose to cancel, so there is no chance to successfully
install sendmail.
But if you would remove exim with zypper, zypper would automatically install
sendmail or postfix.
So with some control mechnanism in the puppet manifest it should be possible to
install sendmail.
I went through some other package-providers to see how they solve the problem
and came up with the following for zypper.rb:
###########
def uninstall
zypper :remove, '-y', @resource[:name]
end
############
I tested it by executing some puppetruns and packages could be removed
successfully -> "puppetd[ 2088 ]:
(//allgemein::sendmail/Package[sendmail]/ensure) removed"
