Josh Cooper commented on PUP-11623   Re: RPM package types unable to handle multiple providers for a virtual package Thanks for the info Mihkel Ader It looks like this regression was introduced in PUP-9605, specifically https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/5af5f9dab8318969ff14c85fe219711035777794#diff-b4d0de06a52daa31f3fbd02acaf3be6becaaff2af1c5c2391b1798e7c11b7579L121-R120 Prior to that change, puppet used to always report on the first package that matched "whatprovides" https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/5.5.16/lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb#L121-L123 Note the FIXME comment. After the change, nevra_to_multiversion_hash either returns a hash or an array of hashes: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/5af5f9dab8318969ff14c85fe219711035777794/lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb#L449-L452. If whatprovides returns multiple entries, then this line will fail: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/5af5f9dab8318969ff14c85fe219711035777794/lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb#L120 For this ticket, I think we need to examine all of the call sites to "nevra_to_multiversion_hash" and ensure the caller can handle either the single hash or array of hashes: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/5af5f9dab8318969ff14c85fe219711035777794/lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb#L87 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/5af5f9dab8318969ff14c85fe219711035777794/lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb#L120 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/5af5f9dab8318969ff14c85fe219711035777794/lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb#L132 Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.11#820011-sha1:0629dd8) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
