Hey,
I'm running Puppet 2.6.0 and somehow I can't really use the rpm
provider like I was used to in previous versions.
This is what my manifest looks like:
file { "/tmp/apache2-mod_security2-2.5.9-6.2.x86_64.rpm":
ensure => present,
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => "744",
source => "puppet:///modules/$module/apache2-
mod_security2-2.5.9-6.2.x86_64.rpm",
before => Package["mod_security2"]
}
package { "mod_security2":
ensure => present,
source => "/tmp/apache2-
mod_security2-2.5.9-6.2.x86_64.rpm",
provider => "rpm"
}
As long as the package isn't installed the manifest works fine, but
afterwards every run throws this error:
Thu Aug 26 08:29:06 +0200 2010 /Stage[main]/Webserver::Apache/
Package[mod_security2]/ensure (err): change from absent to present
failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -i --oldpackage/tmp/apache2-
mod_security2-2.5.9-6.2.x86_64.rpm' returned 1: package apache2-
mod_security2-2.5.9-6.2.x86_64 is already installed
Thu Aug 26 08:29:06 +0200 2010 /Stage[main]/Webserver::Apache/File[/
usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_security2.so] (notice): Dependency
Package[mod_security2] has failures: true
Thu Aug 26 08:29:06 +0200 2010 /Stage[main]/Webserver::Apache/File[/
usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_security2.so] (warning): Skipping
because of failed dependencies
Well suprise...why does puppet declare the state of a package already
being installed as error?
So I've played around a bit and if I use ensure => absent instead of
present the manifest runs through whitout errors but also keeping the
package.
Bug or feature?
