I agree this stuff shouldnt be coupled. But I think we should solve the immediate problem, get the fix out then deal with the bigger design issue, possibly even in a different ticket. Right now the provider is broken, this should be the focus. Commenting here because there was a release which would have greatly benefited from having this fixed. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6681: aptitude provider broken as aptitute doesnt support --force-yes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6681 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Ready For Testing Priority: High Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: package Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/jamtur01/puppet/tree/tickets/2.6.x/6681 After upgrading from 0.24.8 to 2.6.4 on debian etch, lenny and lucid we have issues using the aptitude provider. The aptitude provider inherits from the apt provider, somewhere between 0.24.8 and 2.6.4 the apt provider started adding --force-yes and aptitude doesnt support this option: 0.24.8 to 0.25.5 apt.rb: <pre> str = @resource[:name] case should when true, false, Symbol # pass else # Add the package version str += "=%s" % should end </pre> And on 2.6.0 that is: <pre> str = @resource[:name] case should when true, false, Symbol # pass else # Add the package version and --force-yes option str += "=#{should}" cmd << "--force-yes" end </pre> aptitude inherits this and fails. I did some digging and this was introduced in #1999 commit 2fae0bded559a23dcab5338dd899e272e0d0678e -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
