Puppet / PUP-10152 Pacman provider shouldn't be doing partial upgrades Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 6.10.1 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Types and Providers Created: 2019/11/29 3:54 PM Priority: Minor Reporter: Paul Walker Puppet Version: 6.10.1 Puppet Server Version: OS Name/Version: Arch Linux Every time the pacman provider is used to install a package, it includes the y flag to refresh the package list, eg: ==> default: Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman --noconfirm --needed --noprogressbar -Sy virtualbox-guest-utils' From the Arch Linux wiki, this is a "partial upgrade" which they say shouldn't be done: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported Desired Behavior: Either: Don't refresh the package list (remove the y flag), in which case new packages will be installed matching the same point in time version as the rest of the system Add the u flag so the package list is updated and all existing packages are upgraded to the current point in time versions Option 2 probably isn't desired( ? ). Asking Puppet to install a new package shouldn't result in the rest of the system being upgraded( ? ) Actual Behavior: Running on Arch Linux (with pacman as the default provider), this resource: {{{package { 'virtualbox-guest-utils': ensure => 'present' }}}} Produces this in the log:  ==> default: Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman --noconfirm --needed --noprogressbar -Sy virtualbox-guest-utils' Add Comment

Puppet / PUP-10152 Pacman provider shouldn't be doing partial upgrades

Change By: Paul Walker *Puppet Version: 6.10.1* *Puppet Server Version:* *OS Name/Version: Arch Linux*

Every time the pacman provider is used to install a package, it includes the y flag to refresh the package list, eg: {{==> default: Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman --noconfirm --needed --noprogressbar -Sy virtualbox-guest-utils'}} From the Arch Linux wiki, this is a "partial upgrade" which they say shouldn't be done:

[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported] *Desired Behavior:* Either: # Don't refresh the package list (remove the y flag), in which case new packages will be installed matching the same point in time version as the rest of the system # Add the u flag so the package list is updated and all existing packages are upgraded to the current point in time versions

Option 2 probably isn't desired( ? ). Asking Puppet to install a new package shouldn't result in the rest of the system being upgraded( ? )

*Actual Behavior:*

Running on Arch Linux (with pacman as the default provider), this resource: {

{{ package \{ 'virtualbox-guest-utils': ensure => 'present' }} }}

Produces this in the log:  {{==> default: Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/pacman --noconfirm --needed --noprogressbar -Sy virtualbox-guest-utils'}}

Re: Pacman provider shouldn't be doing partial upgrades Hi Paul Walker, we currently do not support Arch Linux, so even if we do the fix there is no way for us to validate it. If you want you can open a PR for this on Puppet and we can work with you to get it merged.
