I''m a relative new user to puppet.
puppet on the client is returning the error below.
[root@voip01 ~]# puppetd -d --no-daemonize -vvv --test --onetime --trace
<lots of stuff removed>
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: Could not find
dependency Yumrepo[base] for Exec[yum-update] at
/etc/puppet/modules/update/manifests/init.pp:51
The relevant section, around line 51, in init.pp has:
exec { "yum-update":
command => "yum -y --exclude=jdk --exclude=kernel*
update",
tag => "production_update",
require => [
Exec["yum_clean"],
Yumrepo["base"],
Yumrepo["Centos4 os"],
Yumrepo["Centos4 Updates"],
Yumrepo["RPMforge"],
Yumrepo["jpackage"],
Yumrepo["jpackage-el4"],
Yumrepo["zeroc-ice"],
Yumrepo["updates"],
Yumrepo["addons"],
Yumrepo["extras"],
Yumrepo["centosplus"],
Yumrepo["contrib"],
Yumrepo["c4-media"]
],
}
/etc/yum.repos.d/config.repo:
[base]
name=base
baseurl=http://192.168.1.21/mrepo/centos4-$basearch/RPMS.base
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
and, finally:
[root@voip01 yum.repos.d]# yum repolist | grep base
base base enabled
What am I missing here? What''s puppet''s issue with the base
repo?

[Puppet Users] Re: "Could not find dependency Yumrepo"
Hi Larry. I don''t know why we are using exec to update via yum. This was implemented by come consultants, and it has to be kept this way. It''s been working in production for quite some time. I am merely trying to replicate the production setup in a dev environment. Douglas.

Going back to your original question, the error you are getting: Means it cannot find Yumrepo["base"] in your type list. maybe it was renamed, or not included. -L -- Larry Ludwig Reductive Labs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: "Could not find dependency Yumrepo"
Larry, if you mean that puppet can''t find the ''base'' repo, it should be there and accessible. That''s why I posted the contents of the repo file, and the output of ''yum repolist''. It also sounded like you were saying that the Yumrepo type wasn''t found, which I don''t understand, since it''s a standard type. Actually, the docs at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#package say that the repo''s that Yumrepo can see are determined by reposdir in /etc/yum.conf. Since our production environment doesn''t have reposdir defined, but everything still works fine, I''m wondering if the docs are out of date. How does yumrepo determine if a repo is available or not?

[Puppet Users] Re: "Could not find dependency Yumrepo"
Larry, Ok i see that. I didn''t realise the repo''s were managed inside puppet. So, now, and I saw someone else say this, how do we debug these dependancies? The error isn''t particularly descriptive, and if it''s failing because of (non mentioned) dependancy, how do we track it down? Doug.

[Puppet Users] Re: "Could not find dependency Yumrepo"
Larry,
I guess I''m really confused then. This config works in prod, and:
manifests/site.pp:
--------------------------
import "update"
...
Exec { path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin/:/bin:/sbin" }
modules/update/manifests/init.pp:
-------------------------------------------------
exec { "yum-update":
command => "yum -y --exclude=jdk --exclude=kernel*
update",
tag => "production_update",
require => [
Exec["yum_clean"],
Yumrepo["base"],
Yumrepo["Centos4 os"],
Yumrepo["Centos4 Updates"],
Yumrepo["RPMforge"],
Yumrepo["jpackage"],
Yumrepo["jpackage-el4"],
Yumrepo["zeroc-ice"],
Yumrepo["updates"],
Yumrepo["addons"],
Yumrepo["extras"],
Yumrepo["centosplus"],
Yumrepo["contrib"],
Yumrepo["c4-media"]
],
}
site.pp defines Exec and imports the update module, which calls Exec.
Doug.

[Puppet Users] Re: "Could not find dependency Yumrepo"
Actually, the more I read this, the more it seems to indicate to me that the problem is with the Yumrepo, NOT the Exec. It does say after all "Could not find dependency Yumrepo[base]" ---FOR--- "Exec[yum-update]"... Doug.
