Hi All,

Weird issue I'm having with trying to install a package via 'package_method => 
yum' (cfengine version cfengine-community-3.1.2-1.centos5).  So, this is my 
stanza:

packages:

      any::

         "ntp"
            package_policy => "add",
            package_method => yum;

Then, when I run it on a host, I see this (via 'cf-agent -I'):

# cf-agent -f failsafe.cf && cf-agent -I
Q:yum -y install ntp.* ...:Setting up Install Process
Q:yum -y install ntp.* ...:No package ntp.conf available.
Q:yum -y install ntp.* ...:No package ntp.conf.rpmnew available.
Q:yum -y install ntp.* ...:No package ntp.conf.rpmsave available.
Q:yum -y install ntp.* ...:Nothing to do
Q:yum -y install ntp.* ...:
#

Now, those three files (ntp.conf, ntp.conf.rpmnew and ntp.conf.rpmsave) are 
already in the /etc/ directory.  But, why would it try to yum install files on 
my filesystem?  It should be trying to yum install them from my installed yum 
repositories right?  It's a bit odd.  I can do, manually on the command line, 
"yum -y install ntp.*" and it works just great.  But, cfengine cannot do it 
strangely enough.  

Anyone have any idea of what I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!!
