I am not sure about the relationship between dependencies and functions: 1. From seperate module, calling
package{ "vsftpd": require => Yumrepo["base"], ensure => installed; } 2. From the Yum package, calling birepo { "bia.$bi_linux_name-base": descr => "$bi_linux_name \$releasever - \$basearch - Base", relativeUrl => $base_path, alias => "base", require => Exec["import-gpg-keys"]; } where bia-repo is defined as define birepo($descr, $relativeUrl, $gpgcheck = 1) { yumrepo{$name: baseurl => "http://172.20.42.90/yum-repo/$relativeUrl", descr => $descr, enabled => 1, gpgcheck => $gpgcheck, } } and Exec is exec { "rpm --import /etc/yum.repos.d/GPG-keys/$flavor_abbr/*": path => "/bin", require => File["/etc/yum.repos.d/GPG-keys/$flavor_abbr/"], alias => "import-gpg-keys"; } I would expect for these dependencies to hold up, since yumrepo is in birepo which required that the keys are imported before it runs. This is not occurring though, I am getting the error message: err: //Node[SERVER]/s_workstation/vsftpd/Package[vsftpd]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install vsftpd' returned 256: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 82fd17b2 I can resolve this issue by moving the Exec dependency inside of the birepo function (which for me is a better idea anyways) But my question, is why does this not work? Why cant we group things into functions in order to group dependent things together? regards, Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
