Issue #23378 has been reported by Pieter Hollants. ---------------------------------------- Bug #23378: Zypper package provider needs $HOME set to access username/password-protected repos https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23378
* Author: Pieter Hollants * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: High * Assignee: * Category: provider * Target version: 3.3.2 * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.1 * Keywords: zypper package provider * Branch: ---------------------------------------- zypper, the command used to install packages on SUSE distributions, supports package repositories that requires a username and a password to be accessed. Unlike other comparable utilities for other distributions, zypper stores such credentials information in a file in $HOME, $HOME/.zypp/credentials.cat to be precisely. However, this requires the environment variable $HOME to be set, which is currently not the case, rendering the zypper package provider unable to access a required password. The attached patch fixes this by explicitly defining a HOME environment variable set to "/root". This is correct, because the zypper command requires root permissions for both configuring software repositories and installing software. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
