Puppet users - Dec 2008 - Puppet keeps trying to install packages

Hi all,

I''m trying to setup a puppet installation on FreeBSD. So far I have
only one puppetmaster and one puppetclient, both with 0.24.4 from
FreeBSD ports. On the master I''ve defined a couple of classes
including this:

class apache22 {
  package { apache22:
    ensure => installed,
    source => "http://x.x.x.x/packages/apache-2.2.9_5.tbz",
    provider => freebsd
  }

  service { "apache22":
    ensure => running,
    enable => true,
    hasstatus => true,
    hasrestart => true
  }
}

And my site.pp is:

import "classes/*"

node default {
  include test
  include ruby186
  include sudo
  include apache22
}

Now when I run puppetd --test the first time it installs and starts
apache. But on all following runs I get:

err: //Node[default]/apache22/Package[apache22]/ensure: change from
absent to present failed: Execution of ''/usr/sbin/pkg_add
http://x.x.x.x/packages/apache-2.2.9_5.tbz'' returned 256: pkg_add:
package ''apache-2.2.9_5'' or its older version already
installed

It seems to me that puppet is not registering the installation of the
package the first time around. What am I doing wrong here?

exactly.

the namevar of the package (in your case apache22) is used to query  
the package manager of the system, if the package is already  
installed. However the name of the package is not apache22 it is  
apache, therefore it fails. Or how else could puppet know about the  
actual package name?
so change package { apache22 to package { apache and it will work.

At least I hope it does.

cheers pete
