Yeah but I think there is also a problem with the package name itself with the yum package_method. Consider this from verbose runs. Using the yum package_method, you can see its trying to install the package "vim-enhanced.*" (the regex is included in the package name its trying to install. cf3> Checking if package (vim-enhanced,*,*) is at the desired state (installed=0,matched=0) cf3> -> Package promises to refer to itself as "vim-enhanced.*" to the manager cf3> !! Package name contians '*' -- perhaps a missing attribute (name/version/arch) should be specified cf3> -> Package version seems to match criteria cf3> -> Schedule package for addition cf3> -> Package (vim-enhanced.*,any,any) found cf3> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cf3> Offering these package-promise suggestions to the managers cf3> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cf3> -> Deletion schedule... cf3> -> Addition schedule... cf3> Execute scheduled package addition cf3> Command prefix: /usr/bin/yum -y install cf3> Executing /usr/bin/yum -y install vim-enhanced.* ... Now yum_rpm You can see the package name is "vim-enhanced" cf3> Checking if package (vim-enhanced,*,*) is at the desired state (installed=1,matched=1) cf3> -> Package promises to refer to itself as "vim-enhanced" to the manager cf3> -> Package version seems to match criteria cf3> -> Package "vim-enhanced" already installed, so we never add it again So the yum package_method is looking for the wrong package name to begin with, yum just goes ahead and installs the matching package the first time, probably thats incorrect since the package vim-enhanced.* doesnt exist. And it says its repaired because yum returns 0 when it trys to install a package that doesn't exist. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
