Hi
working with the following
puppet-0.24.1-1
puppet-server-0.24.1-1
ruby-1.8.1-7.EL3.8
rhel3 u8
The puppetmaster is running on rhel4 u5
I am working with puppet and rhel3 u8 and I have any an issue anytime I ask
puppet to interact with yum
for the record - yum from the cli works perfectly
I setup a class to manage ntpd and in the class I have the following
function
# make sure ntpd is updated
package {''ntp'':
ensure => latest
}
}
Anytime puppet makes a run I get the following error
Feb 4 16:40:42 tucapd171 puppetd[25077]: Starting catalog run
Feb 4 16:40:43 tucapd171 puppetd[25077]: Could not prefetch package
provider ''yum'': Execution of ''/usr/bin/python
/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/yumhelper.py'' returned
256:
Traceback (most recent call last): File
"/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/yumhelper.py", line 7,
in
? import yum ImportError: No module named yum
Feb 4 16:40:43 tucapd171 puppetd[25077]: Finished catalog run in 0.97seconds
I have seen a similar error in the list but I am not sure this is the same
issue - any ideas? We are trying to transition from using rhn satellite and
being able to use puppet and yum together would be awesome.
Thanks
Ed

Prior to that up2date was used. Perhaps you need to specify the provider as detailed in the link below. Up2date can use yum repositories so perhaps that''s another way to go. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#package hth, Kent
we have had some issues with using up2date to resolve dependencies plus we
dont really like satellite anyway hence the move to yum. we have been
testing yum for awhile now and have not found any issues with using it from
the cli
well I changed the function to
# make sure ntpd is updated
package {''ntp'':
ensure => latest,
provider => yum
}
and restarted the master and got the same results

Any other ideas?

The problem probably isn''t with your version of python at all, but with a missing libxml2-python, python-sqlite, or python-elementtree package. Yum 2.4.x provides a different error with the module import errors, so this will become less confusing. It also includes a directive to send the error to the mailing list. Really, you should figure out what rpm provides the module that was missing and try to install that. If you are getting a message that yum itself is the missing module then you probably installed it incorreclty (or installed the source rpm using make/make install). If possible, find a prebuilt rpm that will work for your system like one from Fedora or CentOS.

Thanks - i do see if I invoke python i cannot import the yum module The yum rpm I am using is straight from centos 3.8 realease. I will try out your idea about the source rpm.

finally got everything to work by back-porting yum 2.4 to rhel3 otherwise puppet will not work with any earlier version of yum - dag''s repo is a great place to look for the various dependencies and then grab the yum 2.4 source rpm and recompile on a rhel3 servers. if anyone needs help with this process let me know.
