Bug #17055: Portage package provider seeing incorrect installed version when
using latest and category
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17055
Author: Yun Zheng Hu
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: provider
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18
Keywords: mysql eix gentoo latest category
Branch:
It seems Gentoo's package provider around eix seems to work incorrectly when
using a "category" and "latest".
(i'm currently using puppet-2.7.18-r1)
Example for mysql, my current portage tree has the following version as the
latest stable: 5.1.62-r1
This version will install when you do:
puppet apply -e 'package { "mysql": ensure => latest, category => 'dev-db'
}' --verbose --debug
Running this again will result in:
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPortage: Executing '/usr/bin/eix
--nocolor --pure-packages --stable --installed --format <category> <name>
[<installedversions:LASTVERSION>] [<bestversion:LASTVERSION>] <homepage>

latest is "5.1.62-r1"
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPortage: Executing '/usr/bin/emerge
dev-db/mysql'
As it looks like it seems that it think mysql is on version 5.1 due to the
virtual package:
eix --exact virtual/mysql
[I] virtual/mysql
Available versions: [M]4.0 [M]4.1 [M]5.0 5.1{tbz2} [M]~5.2 [M]~5.3 [M]~5.5
{{embedded minimal static}}
Installed versions: 5.1{tbz2}(18:14:35 10/17/12)(-embedded -minimal
-static)
Description: Virtual for MySQL client or database
My current workaround is to specify the category name in the package name
itself, which will not reinstall the package.
puppet apply -e 'package { "dev-db/mysql": ensure => latest }' --verbose
--debug
