(I found a discussion from 6/22/09 on this topic, but that was a long time
ago.)
Using Puppet 3.5.1 on CentOS 6.5 I recently created the following:
package {
[ "PackageKit"]:
ensure => absent,
}
However, when I ran Puppet, I got
Error: Execution of '/bin/rpm -e PackageKit-0.5.8-21.el6.x86_64' returned
1: error: Failed dependencies:
PackageKit = 0.5.8-21.el6 is needed by (installed)
PackageKit-yum-0.5.8-21.el6.x86_64
PackageKit = 0.5.8-21.el6 is needed by (installed)
PackageKit-glib-0.5.8-21.el6.x86_64
PackageKit is needed by (installed)
PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.8-21.el6.x86_64
Notice that the provider is running '/bin/rpm' which explains the errors.
So, I explicitly added
a provider, so that the resource definition is this:
package {
[ "PackageKit"]:
provider => 'yum',
ensure => absent,
}
There was no change!!
In the discussion from 2009, somebody suggested using "purge" instead of
"absent",
so I did. But although Puppet now uses yum, it does so in a very strange
way:
Error: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install
PackageKit-purge' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do
Wrapped exception:
This looks like a bug to me.
I ended up using
exec { "/usr/bin/yum -y remove PackageKit":
onlyif => "/bin/rpm -qa |/bin/fgrep PackageKit",
}
but this is a step in the wrong direction.
Comments?
