I have a common package name, that''s in two different package managers
(one with yum the other with gem)
package { "remove-mysql":
name => "mysql",
provider => "yum",
ensure => absent,
}
---------------------------------------------------------
package { "gem-mysql":
name => "mysql",
ensure => "2.7",
provider => gem,
}
---------------------------------------------------------
I get this error.
Jul 3 08:43:34 puppetd[11872]: Could not retrieve catalog:
Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Cannot
alias Package[gem-mysql] to mysql; resource Package[mysql] already
exists at /etc/puppet/modules/ruby-mysql/manifests/init.pp:11 on node
What''s the work around?

I assume puppet puts all the different package types in the same namespace.

I''ve done most of the groundwork for fixing it in the master branch, but it''s pretty far behind other stuff in the priority list. ATM, your only real option is to use exec to remove the package you don''t want. -- There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class. --Judith Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

If you file it as a feature, it''s just going to get put into the bottom of the pile for a long time. You can file it if you want, I guess; it''ll happen eventually either way, but this way at least it''s recorded. -- Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child.
