Is it possible to force use of the yum backend for package removals like
this?
package { ['aspell', 'aspell-en']:
ensure => absent,
provider => 'yum',
}
I'm not near a puppet machine to test this, but it's probably worth a shot.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi.
I encountered a following problem, if I state for example:
package{"aspell-en": ensure => absent, }
package{"aspell": ensure => absent, }
I get error in logs because of dependencies. It seems that puppet uses
'yum' for installation on CentOS and 'rpm -e' for removal of packages,
so it cannot handle this kind of dependencies:
# rpm -e --test aspell-en
error: Failed dependencies:
aspell-en is needed by (installed) aspell-0.60.3-7.1.x86_64
# rpm -e --test aspell
error: Failed dependencies:
aspell>= 12:0.60 is needed by (installed) aspell-en-6.0-2.1.x86_64
Do you have any idea or advice how to solve this kind of problems?
I've searched the list and found:
http://www.mail-archive.com/puppet-users@googlegroups.com/msg03702.html
and consensus is that "RPM circular dependencies have nothing to do with
puppet". OK, but any advice on how to circumvent this issue as elegant
as possible?
