Found a recipe that indicates the following will uninstall (equiv of
apt-get remove vlc) the vlc package.
# /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/packages.pp
class packages {
$packages = ["vlc"]
package{ $packages:
ensure => absent
}
}
When I run sudo puppetd --test I see the following
sudo puppetd --test
info: Retrieving plugins
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional
resources during transaction: Cannot access mount[plugins]
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: Cannot access mount[plugins] Could not describe /plugins:
Cannot access mount[plugins]
info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting catalog run
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.55 seconds
test@ubuntu:~$ which vlc
/usr/bin/vlc
As you can see the last two lines of the paragraph indicate VLC is
still installed. Googling has only produced the option of changing
absent to purged, this returns the same results.
I was able to successfully install vlc w/ the same recipe by changing
absent to installed.
Would really appreciate help on this.

Am fairly certain --test implies --dry-run and won''t actually enact any changes. You have other issues w/your config, though. -scott On Jul 23, 2009, at 9:50, awreneau <awreneau@gmail.com> wrote:> > Found a recipe that indicates the following will uninstall (equiv of > apt-get remove vlc) the vlc package. > > # /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/packages.pp > > class packages { > $packages = ["vlc"] > package{ $packages: > ensure => absent > } > } > > > When I run sudo puppetd --test I see the following > > > sudo puppetd --test > info: Retrieving plugins > err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional > resources during transaction: Cannot access mount[plugins] > err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of > resource: Cannot access mount[plugins] Could not describe /plugins: > Cannot access mount[plugins] > info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml > notice: Starting catalog run > notice: Finished catalog run in 0.55 seconds > test@ubuntu:~$ which vlc > /usr/bin/vlc > > > As you can see the last two lines of the paragraph indicate VLC is > still installed.

So, back to my original question, how would I purge vlc and the other dependencies that are installed as a result of the original recipe?

Hi. This is really strange and should not be. We use ubuntu (hardy/intrepid) a lot and package management with puppet works really well. What ubuntu version and what puppet version? What happens if you user --verbose for puppetd? That should show you a message about the Package["vlc"] What happens if you manually uninstall vlc "aptitude remove vlc"? Some packages have strange dependencies that are first removed and then installed again if another package that depends on those should be installed (via puppet). We use puppet 0.24.8 (from debian/unstable) and puppetmaster 0.24.8, but in all previous versions (since 0.22) we never had such problems with apt/dpkg based Linux-boxes. bye. udo On 24.07.2009, at 15:52, Wes Reneau wrote:> So, back to my original question, how would I purge vlc and the > other dependencies that are installed as a result of the original > recipe? > > Thanks > > > On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 8:12 PM, Scott Smith <scott@ohlol.net> wrote: > > Avi Miller wrote: > > Scott Smith wrote: > >> Am fairly certain --test implies --dry-run and won''t actually enact > >> any changes. > > > > Sorry, but --test certainly does apply changes.

The puppetmaster was still on 8.04. Upgrading to 9.04 hopefully solve my problems. How stupid of me.
