Afternoon all
A requirement has arisen for using Puppet to install a specific version of
the kernel package on our Oracle Linux 6 boxes to fix a firmware issue...
I thought it should be as simple as defining a package resource with the
specific version set, ala:
> # Need to install a new kernel version - GW 16/12/14
package { 'kernel':
> ensure => '2.6.32-220.4.2.el6'
}
However when I try and run that on our servers, I get:
> Info: Applying configuration version '1418742083'
> Error: Could not update: Failed to update to version 2.6.32-220.4.2.el6,
> got version 2.6.32-220.el6 instead
> Error: /Stage[main]/Act::Server::Linux::Db::Oracle/Package[kernel]/ensure:
> change from 2.6.32-220.el6 to 2.6.32-220.4.2.el6 failed: Could not update:
> Failed to update to version 2.6.32-220.4.2.el6, got version 2.6.32-220.el6
> instead
Trying to apply the same resource manually using Puppet apply, I get the
following debug output:
> $ sudo puppet apply -vd -e "package { 'kernel': ensure =>
> '2.6.32-220.4.2.el6' }"

I've highlighted what I think is the most useful line in there, which
suggests that it's incorrectly trying to downgrade the kernel package from
2.6.32-220.el6 to 2.6.32-220.4.2.el6, which should actually be an upgrade.
Any ideas if this is a known issue? Or anything I can do to make it work?
Cheers
Gavin
