Issue #13616 has been updated by Jeff Weiss.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Assignee set to Luke Bigum
Testing against CentOS 6.2 x86_64 minimal install.
Rather than flash, trying with something without as many deps: glibc.
After stock install, ran `yum install glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.i686`, which should
match the x86_64 version, both of which have updates available.
<code>
<pre>
[root@centos-6 ~]# rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.x86_64
glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.i686
</pre>
</code>
with this manifest:
<code>
<pre>
package {'glibc':
ensure => latest,
}
</pre>
</code>
After which I now have
<code>
<pre>
[root@centos-6 ~]# rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-2.12-1.47.el6_2.9.x86_64
glibc-2.12-1.47.el6_2.9.i686
</pre>
</code>
This seems to work for both archs for glibc.
Can you tell me which yum repo you're using for flash-plugin?

Bug #13616: yum provider will not ensure => latest with different architectures
of the same package

Branch:
The yum package provider seems to be getting confused when there are multiple
architecture RPMs of the same package intalled, say i386 and x86_64. For
example I am unable to use the package type to update both versions of the
flash-plugin package. The version and arch checks detects that a package needs
to be updated, but the yum call does not do an update:
[root@pig ~]# rpm -qa | grep flash
flash-plugin-10.2.159.1-release.i386
flash-plugin-11.2.202.228-release.x86_64
...
debug: /Stage[main]/Pairing_stations::Install/Package[flash-plugin]/ensure:
flash-plugin "10.2.159.1-release" is installed, latest is
"0:11.2.202.228-release"
debug: Package[flash-plugin](provider=yum): Ensuring => latest
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e
0 -y install flash-plugin'
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm -q
flash-plugin --nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}|
%{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}
'
notice:
/Stage[main]/Pairing_stations::Install/Package[flash-plugin]/ensure: ensure
changed '10.2.159.1-release' to '0:11.2.202.228-release'
...
[root@pig ~]# rpm -qa | grep flash
flash-plugin-11.2.202.228-release.x86_64
flash-plugin-10.2.159.1-release.i386
Puppet would continually try and update this package and fail.
If the yum provider calls "yum update <package>" this would succeed.
