What happens if an update of a required package introduces a new dependency on httpd. "yum update" will install httpd to satisfy the dependency but then you have a conflict in your puppet manifest between ensuring httpd is absent while ensuring the dependent package is latest. (Admittedly I haven't seen this with httpd but something similar with mysql-server on Fedora). -- Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
