Hello
I want to ensure that a few packages are not installed on my machine. I have
defined this resource:
package { [
'php','php-gd','php-xmlrpc','php-cli','php-common','php-pdo','php-mbstring','php-mysql','php-pgsql'
]:
ensure => absent
}
I found, that puppet wants to remove each packet separately. This gives errors
such as:
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm -e
php-common-5.1.6-27.el5.x86_64'
err: //httpd/Package[php-common]/ensure: change from 5.1.6-27.el5 to absent
failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -e php-common-5.1.6-27.el5.x86_64' returned 1:
error: Failed dependencies:
php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5 is needed by (installed)
php-pdo-5.1.6-27.el5.x86_64
php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5 is needed by (installed)
php-mbstring-5.1.6-27.el5.x86_64
php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5 is needed by (installed)
php-xmlrpc-5.1.6-27.el5.x86_64
php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5 is needed by (installed)
php-pgsql-5.1.6-27.el5.x86_64
It would be more convenient if all packages are uninstalled in one run, then
the provider could decide how to handle the dependencies in between those
packages.
My system:
puppet --version: 0.25.5
ruby --version: ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [x86_64-linux]
cat /etc/redhat-release: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5
(Tikanga)
yum --version: 3.2.22
rpm --version: RPM version 4.4.2.3
