[Trey Dockendorf (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Trey Dockendorf commented on an issue   Re: Comparing package versions in puppet behaves differently to yum I can confirm this issue in Puppet 3.4.3 slurm-14.03.3-2.el6 was installed, and I added the package slurm-14.03.3-2.1.el6 to my internal repo. I set the ensure parameter for that resource to '14.03.3-2.1.el6'. Running Puppet resulted in the following Debug: Package[slurm](provider=yum): Ensuring => 14.03.3-2.1.el6 Debug: Executing '/bin/rpm -q slurm --nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' Debug: Package[slurm](provider=yum): Downgrading package slurm from version 14.03.3-2.el6 to 14.03.3-2.1.el6 Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade slurm-14.03.3-2.1.el6' Debug: Executing '/bin/rpm -q slurm --nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' Error: Could not update: Failed to update to version 14.03.3-2.1.el6, got version 14.03.3-2.el6 instead Error: /Stage[main]/Slurm::Install/Package[slurm]/ensure: change from 14.03.3-2.el6 to 14.03.3-2.1.el6 failed: Could not update: Failed to update to version 14.03.3-2.1.el6, got version 14.03.3-2.el6 instead Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-682 Comparing package versions in puppet behaves differently to yum I'm trying to make use of the yum downgrade functionality which is described in Issue #2866. Our build process creates packages with a typical rpm version say: foo-2.2-405.noarch.rpm which compared with package foo-2.2-406.noarch.rpm works perfectly fine But If I build a local version of my package there is no build number and the package is name...
