Hi,
we tried to do it with puppet a few times, but at the end what we do is:
(for example on a redhat system)
check if /var/lib/rpm/Packages has changed if it has, it probably means that
a package has been installed.
if it has, then execute a script which compares the 32bit and 64bit
packages, install them if they are missing.
e.g. in puppet language:
file { "/var/lib/rpm/Packages": checksum => md5 }
exec { "install missing 32bit packages":
# only start if there are any changes in the packagelist
subscribe => File["/var/lib/rpm/Packages"], refreshonly => true,
...
}
maybe there is a easier way to do that, but this was the only one way that
worked also with old versions of yum etc.
