Issue #12678 has been updated by David Portabella.
Hi, what is the status of this ticket? ---------------------------------------- Bug #12678: yum provider doesn't respect items provided by a package, only the package name https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12678#change-99909 * Author: Michael Stahnke * Status: Tests Insufficient * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.10 * Keywords: yum package provides whatprovides * Branch: ---------------------------------------- A simple use case: In EL5 and earlier, the curl development headers were included in a package called curl-devel. In EL6 and later that package was renamed to libcurl-devel. However, the libcurl-devel package still provides curl-devel. When using something like package { "curl-devel": ensure => installed } puppet looks for this package every time. [root@centos6-32 ~]# puppet resource package libcurl-devel warning: Package kernel found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum version warning: Package gpg-pubkey found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum version package { 'libcurl-devel': ensure => '7.19.7-26.el6_1.2', } [root@centos6-32 ~]# puppet resource package curl-devel warning: Package kernel found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum version warning: Package gpg-pubkey found in both yum and yum; skipping the yum version package { 'curl-devel': ensure => 'absent', } [root@centos6-32 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides curl-devel libcurl-devel-7.19.7-26.el6_1.2.i686 [root@centos6-32 ~]# The yum provider should basically use the way yum work to make this happen. If I do "yum install curl-devel" on EL6, it pulls in libcurl-devel. If I then do an rpm -q --whatprovides curl-devel it shows that libcurl-devel provides that, and thus something does not need to be installed. Fixing this would likely have the side-benefit of being able to use the file installation methods on yum as well. Such as yum install /usr/bin/foo Puppet would be like package { "/usr/bin/foo": ensure => installed, } That would then install whatever package contains the file /usr/bin/foo, as yum from the CLI does. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
