# Overview #
If you try and specify the architecture for a package with the yum provider it
either can't find the package initially or can't find it on subsequent runs.
# Expected Behaviour #
You should be able to specify the arch in the version or package name, and yum
installs only that version once it reassembles all the information for the
package.
# Actual Behaviour #
If you specify the package/arch like:
<pre>
package{ 'njn-plugins-client':
name => "njn-plugins-client.${architecture}",
ensure => "1.4-26",
}
</pre>
Yum queries for "njn-plugins-client.${architecture}-1.4-26" which is the wrong
format, so will never find the package to install it.
If however you specify it via:
<pre>
package{ 'njn-plugins-client':
name => "njn-plugins-client",
ensure => "1.4-26.${architecture}",
}
</pre>
It will get installed, but puppet is unaware that the ".${arch}" is on the
version number, so can no longer find that version installed.
