Issue #12678 has been updated by Todd Zullinger.
Agreed that this would be convenient. If extended to other package providers,
it might also help with differences in package names.
I've spent all of about ten minutes on this, so I'm likely missing a number of
things. But, a start on this might be as simple as adding --whatrequires in
the rpm provider's query method. E.g.:
$ diff -u puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb{.orig,}
--- puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb.orig 2011-06-22 17:00:45.000000000

- cmd = ["-q", @resource[:name], "--nosignature", "--nodigest", "--qf",

output = rpm(*cmd)
This doesn't seem to work for ensure => latest. I suspect that yumhelper's
output might need to include all the provides for packages with updates. I
didn't try that yet. Nor did I try ensure => $version-$release.

Bug #12678: yum provider doesn't respect items provided by a package, only the
package name
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12678#change-54944
Author: Michael Stahnke
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category:
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.10
Keywords: yum package provides whatprovides
Branch:
A simple use case:
In EL5 and earlier, the curl development headers were included in a package
called curl-devel. In EL6 and later that package was renamed to libcurl-devel.
However, the libcurl-devel package still provides curl-devel.
When using something like
package { "curl-devel":
ensure => installed
}
puppet looks for this package every time.
[root@centos6-32 ~]# puppet resource package libcurl-devel
warning: Package kernel found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum version
warning: Package gpg-pubkey found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum
version
package { 'libcurl-devel':
ensure => '7.19.7-26.el6_1.2',
}
[root@centos6-32 ~]# puppet resource package curl-devel
warning: Package kernel found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum version
warning: Package gpg-pubkey found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum
version
package { 'curl-devel':
ensure => 'absent',
}
[root@centos6-32 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides curl-devel
libcurl-devel-7.19.7-26.el6_1.2.i686
[root@centos6-32 ~]#
The yum provider should basically use the way yum work to make this happen. If
I do "yum install curl-devel" on EL6, it pulls in libcurl-devel. If I then do
an rpm -q --whatprovides curl-devel it shows that libcurl-devel provides that,
and thus something does not need to be installed.
Fixing this would likely have the side-benefit of being able to use the file
installation methods on yum as well. Such as
yum install /usr/bin/foo
Puppet would be like
package { "/usr/bin/foo":
ensure => installed,
}
That would then install whatever package contains the file /usr/bin/foo, as yum
from the CLI does.
