Re: Attempt in extending Salt pkg not available

[Thomas S Hatch]

Please don't double post.

what happens when you run the minion in the foreground with debug turned on? There may be a load error.

After a few times of getting package not available error, I renamed yumpkg.py file to yumpkg.py, reloaded salt, restarted minion master, renamed salt modules directory and restored files.  Tried to uninstall and then install from rpm.  And from git.  No matter what I get the same ouput as mentioned here.  Not sure where to go from here.

I removed my response in hope to not double post, realized this was related to the other post, thought it would be better there.  Sorry for the confusion.

No worries :)

and yes, this looks right, pkg.list is not a pkg function

[Duane Crouch]

Yes, that was overlooked, thank you.

pkg.list_pkgs works fine.  :)

Is the right virtual module being loaded? Does sys.doc show apt specific data?

[Duane Crouch]

Not running in a virtualenv.  Most mention of virtual in there was mentioning virtualenv and from pip installation.  I like that return though didn't know about the sys.doc.
