Issue #1720 has been updated by Toomas Pelberg.
Hello, I also ran into this issue and patched the yum package provider to recognize installonlypkg's and provide some special handling for them. Notably the downgrade/update handling. Patched in: https://github.com/toomasp/puppet/tree/PUPPET-1720 According to the spec, it's passing current tests and in my own testing it didn't break anything else either, just fixes the installonlypkg's issue. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1720: The package resource type doesn't notice installed packages when more than one is installed https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1720#change-75473 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.
