Issue #14560 has been updated by Jens Bräuer.
I'd really love to see this fixed. 2 more use-cases, why it would be good to fix this a) As this is a issue with the Package Type, it also impacts MCollective, which re-uses Puppet RAL (eg. package agent) b) One more example why someone needs a specific version: Logstash. It requires ElasticSearch 0.20.2, but latest stable is 0.20.5 as of writing. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14560: package/apt provider needs to allow holding and ensuring a particular version at the same time https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14560#change-87077 * Author: Russell Jackson * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Debian * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.14 * Keywords: debian apt dpkg package hold held * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The package provider needs to be able to ensure a particular version of a package while also being able to set a hold status simultaneously. Currently, I'm forced to use an exec to install the package and then have the package provider ensure it being held. I can do it the other way around, but then I get change notices about the package version changing from 'held' to the ensured version on every run. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
