Don commented on PUP-146   Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager Besides of the performance issue I'm phasing the issue that I'm not able to downgrade packages with dependencies e.g. running something equivalent to:   # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 running:   # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 ends up in errors like:   Error: Could not update: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64' returned 1: Error: Package: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms) Requires: java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9 Removing: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9 Downgraded By: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9 Error: Package: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) Requires: java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9 Installed: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9 Available: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Workarounding this with an exec feels not correct.       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.
