Frank created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10798 Unable to install rpm packages via provides of the package Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 6.14.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2020/12/03 3:08 AM Priority: Critical Reporter: Frank Puppet Version: 6.14 OS Name/Version: CentOS 8.2 It is not possible to install an rpm package via an provides name of the package. Sample: package { 'dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions': ensure => installed} it will fails with: Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/dnf -d 0 -e 1 -y list dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions' returned 1: Error: No matching Packages to list because dnf list only work with real package names, not with package provides. But an blind dnf call will work: LANG=C dnf install dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:11 ago on Thu Dec 3 12:02:50 2020. Dependencies resolved. =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Package Architecture Version Repository Size =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Installing: python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions noarch 4.0.12-4.el8_2 BaseOS 51 kTransaction Summary =================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Install 1 Package It will provides: dnf download dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions-4.0.12-4.el8_2.noarch.rpm   rpm -qp --provides python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions-4.0.12-4.el8_2.noarch.rpm config(python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions) = 4.0.12-4.el8_2 dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions = 4.0.12-4.el8_2 python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions = 4.0.12-4.el8_2 So it can be installed via dnf install dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions. But puppet can't handle package provides of an rpm package. So doing the same with puppet will fail.   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.
