[Puppet Users] How to update a package using puppet and a .deb file

I am trying to figure out the proper way to update/upgrade a deb
package using puppet from a local source deb file. My current config
looks like this...

class adobe-air-2-0-4 {

  file { "/opt/air-debs":
    ensure => directory
  }

  file { "/opt/air-debs/adobeair-2.0.4.deb":
    owner   => root,
    group   => root,
    mode    => 644,
    ensure  => present,
    source  => "puppet://puppet/adobe-air-2-0-4/adobeair-2.0.4.deb"
  }

  package { "adobeair":
    provider => dpkg,
    ensure => installed,
    source => "/opt/air-debs/adobeair-2.0.4.deb"
  }

}

I first copy the deb file down to the client machine and then use
''package'' with the provider set to ''dpkg''.
This works and I get the
correct version installed.

My question is what is the proper way to update this package in the
future. Can I simply change out the source file and puppet will know
that it''s a different version and update this package? How does puppet
determine what version of a package it has installed versus the
version of the source deb file?

I am pretty new to puppet, so if you have an suggestions for
improvements to my existing config they are very much appreciated.

I have also posted this question here...

[Puppet Users] Re: How to update a package using puppet and a .deb file

Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction?  Do I
have to use a package repository to ensure a correct version or can I
do it using the approach below?

Tim,

I''ve never really used the dpkg provider before, but a quick test seems
to indicate that just changing the source file isn''t sufficient to get
the new version installed.

Installing first with:

package { "puppet-dashboard":
  provider => dpkg,
  ensure   => installed,
  source   => "/tmp/puppet-dashboard_1.0.4rc2-1_all.deb"
}

Then changing the source to be:

package { "puppet-dashboard":
  provider => dpkg,
  ensure   => installed,
  source   => "/tmp/puppet-dashboard_1.0.4rc2-2_all.deb"
}

The 1.0.4rc2-2 version is not installed.

Off hand, I''m not sure what the right way to do it would be, but I can
confirm that just changing the source with the dpkg provider is not
sufficient.

Well, Nan just suggested that we try "ensure => latest", and that
_does_
get it to upgrade the package, when the source line is changed.

So... Something like the following for the package should get what you
want:

package { "puppet-dashboard":
  provider => dpkg,
  ensure   => latest,
  source   => "/tmp/puppet-dashboard_1.0.4rc2-1_all.deb"
}

Thanks Jacob..  I''ll try this out.  I was also thinking about hosting
our own apt repo and then we could use "apt" instead of
"dpkg"

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: How to update a package using puppet and a .deb file

You really want to do that.  It''s much easier to maintain.

Here''s a tutorial for a really simple repository if you want it:
