I initially was using package_method "yum," which worked fine until my package list got too long ... looks like some buffer / cache fills up and breaks the process ( note "No package comp available." in the below, next item in list would be "compat-expat1" );
Q:yum -y install xymon ...:No package compat-gcc-34-c++.noarch available. Q:yum -y install xymon ...:No package compat-gcc-34-c++.i686 available. Q:yum -y install xymon ...:Package compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-19.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Q:yum -y install xymon ...:No package comp available. Q:yum -y install xymon ...:Nothing to do Q:yum -y install xymon ...: Breaking my list into two groups didn't fix the problem. I switched to package_method "yum_rpm," which worked fine for a while ... and then suddenly broke by deciding to only install the x86_64 version even when only i686 was specified for package_architectures. From looking at the verbose output, the architecture string is getting dropped; Executing /usr/bin/yum -y install compat-expat1 compat-expat1 compat-e... It's not the length of the package list this time, I've tested with a list of two packages. I'm aware of the bug relating to this that was fixed in v3.1.4, this is not that (I'm running 3.1.4, this has been working fine until a couple of days ago.) No changes to cfengine version or cfengine_stdlib.cf, I'm at a loss as to why this suddenly changed behavior. At this point I'm largely posting out of curiosity and confirming this in case anybody else is seeing it ... "packages:" has proved to be largely a labor-generator for me, so I'm going back to doing the bulk package install in a kickstart post script, which I was doing with cf2. I was hoping to have cf3 manage the whole thing to keep me from having two lists to manage as we added new packages, but that seems like a lot less work at this point. We're running cf3 exclusively on RHEL6 at the moment. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
