Issue #8436 has been updated by Michael Stahnke. Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating Keywords set to openbsd
This seems like more of a bug in pkg_add than in puppet. Puppet would like to utilize sane return codes to know if external commands have succeeded or failed. Do you have ideas for fixing it? Has pkg_add always returned 0 on failure, or does it have reliable parseable output? ---------------------------------------- Bug #8436: openbsd package provider doesn't recognize failed package installation https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8436 Author: Peter Meier Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.2rc1 Keywords: openbsd Branch: While investigating #8435 I discovered that pkg_add does not exit with an exitcode > 0 if the package can't be found: <pre> # /usr/sbin/pkg_add p5-libwww Can't find p5-libwww # echo $? 0 </pre> Hence puppet does not recognize that a package can't be installed and will report the installation as successful.
