I'm stupidly new to puppet and have taken over someone's
"in-progress-to-be-completed" implementation of puppet.
I'm trying to see how I can run apt-get update before any package
installs. I've googled around found some articles but they don't seem to
work (or rather I most likely don't understand them).
The situation I have is:
Contains our sites
/etc/puppet/manifests/sites.pp
==============================
import "classes/*"
import "common"
node "TestBaseServer" {
include ssh_keys
include puppet
include test_apt
include base_software
include profile
include core_servers_software
include admin_tools
include core_servers_config
include build_servers_software
include exim
}
The basic list of packages to be installed
/etc/puppet/manifest/classes/base_software
==========================================
class base_software {
Package {
require => [Class['test_apt'],Class['apt::update']]
}
package { "debian-keyring": ensure => latest }
package { "vim": ensure => latest }
package { "ethtool": ensure => latest }
package { "tcpdump": ensure => latest }
package { "rsync": ensure => latest }
}
The class I have create.
/etc/puppet/modules/apt/manifests/update.pp
============================================
define apt::update {
exec {'/usr/bin/apt-get update':}
}
root@zvsv02:~# puppetd --test --noop
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Could n
ot find class apt::update at
/etc/puppet/manifests/classes/base_software:6 on no
de zvsv02.opus.co.nz
So what I'm not sure about the current system is while I have defined
the class in /etc/puppet/module/apt/manifests, the file that is trying
to use the defined class is in /etc/puppet/manifests/classes
I'm not really sure exactly how this is supposed to work. If I'm reading
the documentaton right, then everything in the modules should be self
contained, so I'm guessing calling apt::update from
/etc/puppet/manifests/classes while the class sits in
/etc/puppet/modules/apt won't work? I can replace the line:
[Class['test_apt'],Class['apt::update']]
With:[Class['test_apt'],Class['apt']] and it finds the 'apt' class fine.
I'm confused.
