Issue #20269 has been updated by Brandon Burton.
There are two work-arounds to get you going. I've tested both and am currently using #2 1. Download the CentOS RPM and manually installing using the best method for your environment * http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/20348734/dir/centos_6/com/virt-what-1.11-1.2.el6.x86_64.rpm.html * http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/20342433/dir/centos_6/com/virt-what-1.11-1.2.el6.i686.rpm.html 2. Take the CentOS rpm and put it in your internal yum repository, if you run one. Mozilla uses mrepo and so I put the current rpms in our internal repository and then yum is able to satisfy the dependency. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20269: Facter 1.7 fails to install on Amazon Linux because Amazon Linux does not provide a virt-what package https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20269#change-89853 * Author: Brandon Burton * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Matthaus Owens * Category: cloud - ec2 * Target version: * Keywords: * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.7.0 ---------------------------------------- Facter 1.7 fails to install on Amazon Linux because Amazon Linux does not provide a virt-what package. __Details on System:__ <pre> [root@ec2-001 ]# cat /etc/issue Amazon Linux AMI release 2013.03 Kernel \r on an \m </pre> __Example of issue:__ <pre> [root@ec2-001 ]# yum update facter Loaded plugins: priorities, security, update-motd, upgrade-helper amzn-main | 2.1 kB 00:00 amzn-updates | 2.3 kB 00:00 985 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package facter.x86_64 1:1.6.17-1.el6 will be updated ---> Package facter.x86_64 1:1.7.0-1.el6 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: virt-what for package: 1:facter-1.7.0-1.el6.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:facter-1.7.0-1.el6.x86_64 (puppetlabs) Requires: virt-what You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest </pre> This was discovered when trying to Puppetize a new Amazon Linux EC2 instnace. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
