Geoff Williams created an issue   Puppet / PUP-4090 Zypper provider doesn't work correctly on SLES 10.4 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.7.4 Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 2015/03/05 10:12 PM Environment: SUSE version: # cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64) VERSION = 10 PATCHLEVEL = 4 Puppet Version (Agent & Master) # puppet --version 3.7.4 (Puppet Enterprise 3.7.2) Zypper Version: # zypper --version zypper 0.6.200 Priority: Normal Reporter: Geoff Williams Overview Attempting to run puppet with install_options set to disable GPG checks for package installation results in an error from the zypper command that the - name and { -no-gpg-checks}} options are not recognised. With the stock puppet zypper provider, its impossible to install packages with option set. Test case The following Puppet code was used to attempt to bypass the zypper GPG signing requirements: package { 'REDACTED':, provider => 'zypper', name => REDACTED, ensure => $user_supplied_variable, install_options => [ '--no-gpg-checks' ], } Running this code resulted in an error from the zypper command being returned via a failed Puppet execution: # /opt/puppet/bin/puppet agent --test Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for REDACTED Info: Applying configuration version '1425621321' Error: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/zypper --terse install --auto-agree-with-licenses --no-confirm --name --no-gpg-checks REDACTED(was package name)' returned 2: Unknown option --name Unknown option --no-gpg-checks Wrapped exception: Execution of '/usr/bin/zypper --terse install --auto-agree-with-licenses --no-confirm --name --no-gpg-checks REDACTED' returned 2: Unknown option --name Unknown option --no-gpg-checks Error: /Stage[main]/REDACTED/Package[REDACTED]/ensure: change from absent to latest failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/zypper --terse install --auto-agree-with-licenses --no-confirm --name --no-gpg-checks REDACTED' returned 2: Unknown option --name Unknown option --no-gpg-checks Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.97 seconds Experimental workaround The zypper command in this version of SUSE expects the parameters to be ordered in a different way to that which is coded into the zypper.rb provider. As an experiment, I was able to rearrange things so that the parameters were fed in the order that the program accepts: --no-gpg-checks must come before the action (install) --name doesn't seem to be recognised at any position and had to be removed package name should directly follow the action, eg install foobar Long term fix Due to the way zypper is invoked, perhaps we may need two arguments to be passed to different parts of the command to get it to work as advertised, eg: zypper $default_options $command_options $subcommand $subcommand_options $package_name Or perhaps the invocation of the zypper command has changed between SUSE versions?
