Josh Cooper commented on PUP-10018   Re: The module tool won't solve some dependencies without --force or --ignore-dependencies I think the  puppetlabs-puppet_agent upgrade from 2.1.2 to 2.2.0 fails because the latter requires apt >= 7.0.1 and the PMT doesn't know to upgrade dependencies at the same time. I'm not sure why -ignore-dependencies doesn't work, but -force does as a workaround: [root@soft-shipboard ~]# puppet module upgrade puppetlabs-puppet_agent --version=2.2.0 --force Notice: Preparing to upgrade 'puppetlabs-puppet_agent' ... Notice: Found 'puppetlabs-puppet_agent' (v2.1.2) in /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules ... Notice: Downloading from https://forgeapi.puppet.com ... Notice: Upgrading -- do not interrupt ... /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules └── puppetlabs-puppet_agent (v2.1.2 -> v2.2.0) After which you can upgrade apt as expected: [root@soft-shipboard ~]# puppet module upgrade puppetlabs-apt --version=7.1.0 Notice: Preparing to upgrade 'puppetlabs-apt' ... Notice: Found 'puppetlabs-apt' (v6.3.0) in /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules ... Notice: Downloading from https://forgeapi.puppet.com ... Notice: Upgrading -- do not interrupt ... /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules └── puppetlabs-apt (v6.3.0 -> v7.1.0) Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.5.2#805002-sha1:a66f935) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
