Hi, We have majority of RHEL5 servers in our environment. I have noticed in the process of trying to deploy puppet, that i am getting errors when yum is trying to install packages. Most of the time it works flawlessly, however sometime the following will be reported: change from absent to present failed: Execution of ''/usr/bin/yum -d 0 - e 0 -y install modcluster'' returned 1:

Hello, I have run into problems in the past where a package has been added to our yum repository, and a (new) class has been pushed to install that package, but puppet fails because the yum db on the target machine is too stale, and thus isn''t aware of the existence of the new package.

I am trying to get a package (iftop) installed on a test node using puppet but I can''t get it to install. This seems like it should be simple, but I can''t figure out what I am missing. Have done a lot of searching for similar problems and the answers I found seem to be vague in the details and explanation. I have the package added to an internal yum repo. OS is Centos 5.4.

I'm trying to set up a custom rpm respository for some in-house software, and configure a number of CentOS 5 clients so that they may install and update the software in question from the location in question. I think I've mostly figured out how to do this - I've successfully installed software on one of the clients via "yum install <my package>" after adding an

Hi all, I'd like to try rolling a somewhat stripped down and customized CentOS DVD. This is particularly interesting to me now that CentOS 5.5 is 2 DVDs. I dare not call it a new distro as I suspect I will be the only one to use it. ;) I've been googling for ways to do this, figuring it must be somewhat straight forward, but my google-fu is weak it seems.
