Bug #13213: Yum provider doesn't understand globs
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13213

Author: Abel Lopez
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: yum version
Branch: 


Yum understands globs in regards to version numbers.
On the command line, if I say "yum install puppet-2.6*", I will get the latest 
version of 2.6 available, even if a 2.7 version exists in my repositories.

If I use this in a manifest, such as 
ensure => '2.6*',
puppet attempts to install "literally puppet-2.6*", as if asterisk was a 
version number, producing an error
err: /Stage[main]/Puppet/Package[puppet]/ensure: change from 2.6.14-1.el5 to 
2.6* failed: Could not update: Failed to update to version 2.6*, got version 
2.6.14-1.el5 instead

Yum exits with $? = 0 with this format.
