Thanks for confirming that. I have updated the ticket to reflect the root cause, and that it is a genuine failure of the model. ---------------------------------------- Bug #11450: Package type and provider need to consider `purged` and `absent` packages identical for yum and similar providers https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11450 Author: Brett Lentz Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.12 Keywords: package purge Branch: I have a package resource that I want to remove, including all of its dependencies. On Red Hat systems, this is done by "yum -y erase <package>". The corresponding puppet code is: <pre> package { <package>: ensure => purged } </pre> However, puppet prints this into the logs: <pre> debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm -q abrt --nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH} ' debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -y erase abrt' notice: /Stage[main]/Global/Package[abrt]/ensure: created </pre> The notice is clearly incorrect, as there's nothing that's been created. In fact, it repeatedly prints this notice and runs the "yum erase" command long after the package has *actually* been removed. Both of these behaviors are incorrect, and are caused by the RAL returning `absent` as the package state, while `purged` is required for the resource to settle. My expectation is: 1. Logged notices for purged resources should not describe anything as being "created". 2. Puppet should only run the "yum erase" command only if the package query ("rpm -q") returns a valid result. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
