similar to: Another Discovered/Undocumented feature of yumrepo - and a workaround

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 am trying to set a "subscribe" for a Yumrepo object so that an Exec "yum clean all" is ran immediately after a Yumrepo is changed. With the following setup, I am not seeing the "subscribe" fire off until after Packages that have a require pointing to the Yumrepo["custom"] are attempted to be installed. Is in right to expect that the subscribe on the

I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4. My problem is yumrepo isn''t writing the "name=" field to the repository files which causes yum to complain with the error: Repository ''local-CentOS-5.4-x86_64'' is missing name in configuration, using id I get this behavior on all of my yumrepo definitions. One of them looks like this: yumrepo {

Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname). Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

When loading a package with library(APkg) or require(APkg) I would like to make sure that (1) the correct version of [R] is installed. If not an informative error message should be given. I would also like to make sure that (2) another required package which is loaded from within the APkg package (by require(OtherPkg)) is of a certain version or later. First of all, I believe that the check

I am not sure where I should even begin troubleshooting this. I know a little bit about Linux and am comfortable editing files and running commands however definitely not a Linux guru. I have ipkg already installed on the QNAP. I know absolutely nothing about ruby on rails. Thanks for any help. For those that are not familiar with a QNAP, ipkg is the same as apt-get or yum in some Linux

Hello, I used to have something like this: yumrepo { "foobar": [...] gpgkey => ["file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key1", "file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key2"], } Which as expected used to generate files looking like this: [foobar] gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key1 file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key2 It appears this no longer works with 0.24.6. I''m pretty sure it

My head hurts from trying to figure this out for the past several hours . . .

Is there a better way? # suse-yum.pp case $suse_repo_name { #sled10-i586: {Package{ provider => rug}} sled10-i586:

I am just starting with puppet to replace a ''homegrown'' config distribution system and it is looking very promising, i will be playing with the templating next. I have run into an error when attempting to disable the shipped repo''s with CentOS 4.4. See the relevant info below. This is obviously a problem when repo definitions include multi-line baseurl''s.

For example, I have a bunch of package resources defined for packages which are contained in the yum repositories defined by the yumrepo resources. If the package is installed first, then it will fail because the repository is not available. I know about "require". But I would prefer not to add a direct dependency on the source repository. Is there an easier way to do this? What

Hi all Does anyone know what causes this error? I have setup a local CentOS repository, with mrepo, and can succesfully use it for updates & installation of just about anything. Yet, this error comes up. Here's my /etc/yum.conf: # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d [base-local] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist=

Hi, in an attempt to simplify my configuration, and from a suggestion on IRC, I was thinking of using multiple values for file { source => [] }. Was just currious if anyone had any comments on this. Basically, I setup my file-server to use: <snip> [private] path /var/lib/puppet/files/private/%H allow * [shared] path /var/lib/puppet/files/shared allow *

Hello, I''m currently running Puppet 0.25.5-1 on CentOS 5.5. Everything has been going swimmingly until a couple of weeks ago, when I began receiving errors on one of my nodes. The node in question is also my puppetmaster, but the errors seem client-related. The errors are: err: //yumrepos::centosbase/Yumrepo[addons]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: A section with name
