Closed, Thomas was right. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3499: RPM provider keeps trying to install the same version over and over https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3499 Author: Ashley Penney Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: rpm provider package Branch: I looked into the code but swiftly got lost and decided to just report it instead: package { "openssh-client": ensure => present, provider => rpm, source => "http://puppet/packages/openssh-clients-5.1p1-3.x86_64.rpm";, require => Package["openssh"], } Results in: err: //ssh::sftp/Package[openssh-client]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -i --oldpackage http://puppet/packages/openssh-clients-5.1p1-3.x86_64.rpm' returned 1: package openssh-clients-5.1p1-3.x86_64 is already installed -sh-3.2# rpm -qa | grep openssh-cl openssh-clients-5.1p1-3 I suspect the issue here is that it is matching openssh-clients-5.1p1-3.x86_64 (including the .x86_64) against openssh-clients-5.1p1-3 and deciding that the package is uninstalled and trying to install it. I can't confirm this in the code but this is constantly annoying and causes my reporting to look a mess as it fails time and time again. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
