| Hi,
| My brain is hurting a bit over this one. How does one delete ypbind
| cleanly from a RHEL6 box? It has a dep of yp-tools. No problem...I
| add both to the uninstall list in hiera;
| packages_oel6_absent:
| <snip>
| - ypbind
| - yp-tools
| SNIP from manifest;
| $packagesabsent = hiera("${packages_key}_absent",'nil')
| if $packagesabsent != 'nil' {
| package { $packagesabsent:
| ensure => absent,
| }
| Works a treat for all other packages removing cleanly, apart from
| these two.
| Here's the error when I add both programs to the delete list;
| err: /Stage[main]/Axx_packages/Package[yp-tools]/ensure: change from
| 2.9-12.el6 to absent failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -e
| yp-tools-2.9-12.el6.x86_64' returned 1: error: Failed dependencies:
| yp-tools is needed by (installed) ypbind-3:1.20.4-29.el6.x86_64
| err: /Stage[main]/Axx_packages/Package[ypbind]/ensure: change from
| 1.20.4-29.el6 to absent failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -e
| ypbind-1.20.4-29.el6.x86_64' returned 1: error: Failed dependencies:
| ypbind is needed by (installed) yp-tools-2.9-12.el6.x86_64
| If I only state one of the packages for removal....I only get one of
| the errors.
| I read some historical threads from a few years back reporting the
| same issue, but hoping it's fixed by now.
| Other than doing a bit of a nasty exec rpm -e / onlyif rpm -q ypbind
| blah....what's a chap to do?
| Regs,
| Stephen
Try with ensure => purge
