Issue #1720 has been updated by James Juran.
I ran into this because I have a custom kernel module that I've built into an RPM. I want to be able to update my CentOS updates mirror to apply those updates automatically; most of my package resources have ensure => latest. However, because I have to rebuild this kernel module whenever a kernel update is released, I want to ensure a specific version number for the kernel package. Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem? ---------------------------------------- Bug #1720: The package resource type doesn't notice installed packages when more than one is installed https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1720#change-74169 Author: Trevor Hemsley Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 0.24.6 Keywords: Branch: On Redhat systems using yum as the package provider, we have a class that says <pre> class hpasm { # This class is meant to keep dependancies for the correct build of the various hp/compaq components package {"kernel-smp-devel": ensure => "2.6.9-67.0.1.EL", } } </pre> and rpm -q kernel-smp-devel reports kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.0.9.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.1.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.20.EL kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL as installed. However puppetd --test --noop says notice: //Node[basicnode]/hpasm/Package[kernel-smp-devel]/ensure: is 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL, should be 2.6.9-67.0.1.EL (noop) I think this is probably a bug since puppet seems to stop looking after the first rpm it finds -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
