Hello everyone,
I'm just getting to grips with Puppet so apologies if I've missed something.
I'm wondering if there is a way to require that something isn't the case.
My current situation/example is that I'm trying to uninstall one
package ("mysql") and install another one that conflicts with it
("MySQL-client-community") in one puppet run.
I can do something like:
package { [ "mysql" ] : ensure => absent, }
package { [ "MySQL-client-community", ] : ensure => installed, }
Which is fine, unless "MySQL-client-community" is scheduled to be
installed before mysql is removed, in which case it errors and I'm
left with a system with no mysql.
Obviously, I can just run puppet again and it'll be fine but I'd
really like to do something like:
package { [ "MySQL-client-community", ] : ensure => installed,
require => ! Package[ "mysql" ] }
with the ! negating the requirement.
Is this possible or am I approaching this from the wrong angle and I
should be doing something quite different?
Thanks,
Tim
