----------------------------------------
Feature #400: yum software provider doesn't handle virtual packages
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/400

Author: bbaetz -
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal

Category: yumrepo
Target version: 
Patch: None
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8
Keywords: 
Branch: 


ethereal has been renamed to wireshark. The package has been renamed, but the 
old package also provides ethereal:

<pre>
[root@techteam ~]# rpm -q --provides wireshark
...
ethereal
...
</pre>

<pre>
        package { ethereal:
                provider => yum,
        }
</pre>

installs the package (since yum resolves "yum install ethereal"), but claims 
that it wasn't installed:

<pre>
debug: package provider yum: Executing '/bin/rpm -q ethereal --qf '%{NAME} 
%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}
_

err: //techteam/package=ethereal/ensure: change from absent to present failed: 
Could not find package ethereal

</pre>

The yum provider (and the rpm one?) should probably use "rpm -q --whatprovides 
<package>" instead?

(The real package name is needed for 'rpm -e', so this may also affect the 
purge stuff)
