Issue #2866 has been updated by Nick Fagerlund.
John, what kind of change would you like to see made to the docs? I don't think we mention the possibility or impossibility of downgrading anywhere at the moment (nor do I know which other providers allow it). ---------------------------------------- Feature #2866: Yum package provider does not allow downgrade https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2866 Author: Grzegorz Nosek Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: 2.7.0 Affected Puppet version: development Keywords: Branch: http://github.com/mmrobins/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/2866 After installing (e.g. by hand) a version of a package later than specified in the "ensure" attribute the yum provider refuses to downgrade the package: <pre> change from 2.5.6-39.g120eba4 to 2.5.6-38.g01d82ad failed: Could not update: Failed to update to version 2.5.6-38.g01d82ad, got version 2.5.6-39.g120eba4 instead </pre> Running "yum downgrade foo-2.5.6-38.g01d82ad" properly downgrades the package, but puppet always calls "yum install". -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
