I found a possible solution that''s really a hack but here it is... example code... exec { "rpm -e --allmatches mysql": path => "/bin/", require => Package["mysql-bench"], } Granted you are bringing the lower level code into the logic high of puppet. but it will take care of the issue you describe. Logic can be added to at least make this apply only to the CENTOS/RHEL distros. It would be nice if this feature was added to the package --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
