Puppet users - Jun 2009 - exec "sudo apt-get -t unstable install rubygems" fails!

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to install the latest unstable binary of rubygems using the
following exec

exec { "latestrubygems":
           command => "sudo apt-get -t unstable install rubygems"
}

I have the apt.conf and the sources.list file updated correctly for this
command to work. This command works well on the command line but not through
puppet. I am not sure where I am going wrong.. The output is

err: //Node[labserver4]/gempackages/Exec[latestrubygems]/returns: change
from notrun to 0 failed: sudo apt-get -t unstable install rubygems returned
1 instead of 0 at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/gempackages.pp:87

Please guide me if I am going wrong somewhere.. Thanks a lot!

Swati

sudo might be the problem, as well the environment. why do you need sudo
at all?

cheers pete

Not only is sudo unnecessary, you need to either set the path parameter, 
or full qualify your executables in an exec resource, ie 
/usr/bin/apt-get -t unstable install rubygems. Also, you''ll want an 
onlyif in there, otherwise it''ll execute every puppet run.

I have my default path set, so I am sure that is not a problem and I also
have an onlyif in there... I need sudo because right now in an experimental
set up I do not have root privileges :(.. I will try to tweak it a bit..
Thanks to you guys anyway!

do you have "requiretty" in your sudoers file?

try running puppet with --debug --test and look at the actual error message
from the command puppet is attempting to run.

When I do a sudo apt-get update, it works fine, whats the deal with the
unstable install?
