I'm very new to Puppet, and new to this group, so I apologize if this has
already been covered. I did a quick search but didn't quickly find an
answer.
I have a manifest that among other things installs a couple of packages.
These are not part of a repository, so I use puppet to send the rpm file to
the agent, then do the installation. This works just fine if the package is
not already installed. However, if the package is already installed, it
returns an error. This has to be a bug, right?
package { 'jdk-6u16-linux-amd64.rpm':
ensure => installed,
source => "/usr/java/jdk-6u16-linux-amd64.rpm",
require => File['jdk-6u16-linux-amd64.rpm'],
}
the error:
err: /Stage[main]/Ulbridge/Package[jdk-6u16-linux-amd64.rpm]/ensure: change
from absent to present failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -i --oldpackage
/usr/java/jdk-6u16-linux-amd64.rpm' returned 1: package
jdk-1.6.0_16-fcs.x86_64 is already installed
If I then have another file/package/whatever that depends on that package
(require => Package['jdk-6u16-linux-amd64.rpm']) it will fail because the
package errored out. This isn't by design, is it? How do I get around it?
