Issue #4799 has been updated by James Turnbull. Status changed from Unreviewed to Ready for Testing Target version set to 2.6.x
---------------------------------------- Bug #4799: portage provider incorrectly fails when eix finds no packages http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4799 Author: Lance Albertson Status: Ready for Testing Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Gentoo Target version: 2.6.x Affected version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: If the portage provider tries to search of a package that does not exist, errors out and fails with the following error: err: //rrdtool::python/Package[rrdtool-python]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Execution of '/usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --stable --format <category> <name> [<installedversions:LASTVERSION>] [<bestversion:LASTVERSION>] <homepage> <description> --exact --name rrdtool-python' returned 1: Eix will return 1 if it finds no packages by default. You can change the value eix returns by editing /etc/eixrc and add: NOFOUND_STATUS=0 When you do that and try running it again, you get a more useful error message: err: //rrdtool::python/Package[rrdtool-python]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No package found with the specified name [<unspecified category>/rrdtool-python] However, this brings in a whole new problem related to issue #3000. The real fix should deal with exit status in a saner manner possibly similar to how the dpkg provider works. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
