Title: Message Title

Jose Luis Ledesma commented on an issue   Re: Yum provider using "version-release" to validate installation. I have found a problem trying to upgrade a package on rhel6. It seems could be related to this ticket: cat libcgroup.pp package { 'libcgroup': ensure => '0.37-7.2.el6_4', } rpm -q libcgroup libcgroup-0.37-7.el6.x86_64 puppet apply libcgroup.pp --no-noop --debug [... lots of messages... ] Debug: Package[libcgroup](provider=yum): Ensuring => 0.37-7.2.el6_4 Debug: Executing '/bin/rpm -q libcgroup --nosignature --nodigest --qf % {NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH} :DESC: %{SUMMARY}\n' Debug: Package[libcgroup](provider=yum): Downgrading package libcgroup from version 0.37-7.el6 to 0.37-7.2.el6_4 Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade libcgroup-0.37-7.2.el6_4' Debug: Executing '/bin/rpm -q libcgroup --nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}: {0} | % {VERSION} % {RELEASE} % {ARCH} :DESC: % {SUMMARY} \n' Error: Could not update: Failed to update to version 0.37-7.2.el6_4, got version 0.37-7.el6 instead Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[libcgroup]/ensure: change from 0.37-7.el6 to 0.37-7.2.el6_4 failed: Could not update: Failed to update to version 0.37-7.2.el6_4, got version 0.37-7.el6 instead So it seems that puppet thinks that going from 0.37-7.el6 to 0.37-7.2.el6_4 is a downgrade (although some messages talks about an update) when in fact is an update so the yum command fails.
