I am using the yum package_method from cfengine_stdlib.cf. I wanted to install the rpm that installs the Postgres YUM repository and its key.
I wanted to simply use the yum "is this installed" detection to set a class and run a command, but promise_not_kept is not valid in a package: body. I found rpm_version in the open promise body library. It checks for every package installed on my system, not just the one I'm trying to install, but otherwise it's mostly what I needed. package_name_convention was package_name_convention => "$(name)-$(version)-$(arch).rpm" so it kept failing to find a package of that name in the repository, with the error message: cf3 -> Package promises to refer to itself as "pgdg-fedora-8.4-2-noarch.rpm" to the manager cf3 -> Package version seems to match criteria cf3 No package in file repositories satisfy version constraint ... cf3 Outcome of version 0.1 (agent-0): Promises observed to be kept 100%, Promises repaired 0%, Promises not repaired 0% Eventually I figured out that means package_name_convention should be: package_name_convention => "$(name)-$(version).$(arch).rpm" and it works.
