Bug #7714: RPM Provider can't determine the version of unsigned packages
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7714
Author: Stefan Kuehne
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Low
Assignee:
Category: provider
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.4
Keywords: RPM-provider, signature, nosignature
Branch:
If the rpm-provider tries to get the version of a package, he uses the command
"rpm -q -qf "%{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}" -p
/tmp/ruby-shadow.rpm" and extract the version.
Example:
server1:~ # rpm -q -qf "%{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE}
%{ARCH}" -p /tmp/puppet.rpm
puppet-2.6.4-3.1.x86_64
But if the package has no signature, puppet has a problem with the appearing
warning message.
Example:
server1:~ # rpm -q -qf "%{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE}
%{ARCH}" -p /tmp/ruby-shadow.rpm
warning: /tmp/ruby-shadow.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID f7d1aa3d:
NOKEY
ruby-shadow-1.4.1-10.1.x86_64
Puppet can't determine the correct version of this rpm-file, which results in
an error that he tries to install the file on every puppet-run.
Example (Debugoutput of a puppet run):
err: /Stage[main]/Allgemein::Facter/Package[ruby-shadow]/ensure: change from
1.4.1-10.1 to Header-V3 failed: Could not update: Execution of '/bin/rpm -U
--oldpackage /tmp/ruby-shadow.rpm' returned 1: warning: /tmp/ruby-shadow.rpm:
Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID f7d1aa3d: NOKEY
package ruby-shadow-1.4.1-10.1.x86_64 is already installed
at /etc/puppet/modules/allgemein/manifests/facter.pp:29
In this case, puppet identified the version as "Header-V3" and tries to install
the package again.
A quick workaround is to add the Parameter --nosignature in the command which
get the version. This suppress the warning message.
