Bug #4992: package type failing latest attempt.. should use 'update'
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4992
Author: Nathan Rich
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: package
Target version:
Affected version: 2.6.2
Keywords: yum update package
Branch:
This is how to update a package with yum. It works on this system. 'yum update'
will look for existing packages by that name and update them:
# yum update nss
Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit
0 packages excluded due to repository protections

Is this ok [y/N]:
This doesn't work because it only tries to install the single nss package and
doesn't update all existing (64+32) packages called nss:
# yum install nss
Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit
0 packages excluded due to repository protections

basically doing:
package{"nss":
ensure => "latest",
}
puppet debug:
debug: /Stage[main]/Chrome/Package[nss]/ensure: nss "3.12.2.0-5.fc10" is
installed, latest is "3.12.3.99.3-2.10.6.fc10"
debug: Package[nss](provider=yum): Ensuring => latest
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e
0 -y install nss'
err: /Stage[main]/Chrome/Package[nss]/ensure: change from 3.12.2.0-5.fc10
to 3.12.3.99.3-2.10.6.fc10 failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum
-d 0 -e 0 -y install nss' returned 1:
Transaction Check Error:

Error Summary
-------------
at /etc/puppet/modules/chrome/manifests/init.pp:9
notice: /Stage[main]/Chrome/Package[google-chrome-stable]: Dependency
Package[nss] has failures: true
warning: /Stage[main]/Chrome/Package[google-chrome-stable]: Skipping
because of failed dependencies
So you see it's trying to use 'install' to update packages, which is in my
opinion a bug.
