Package install_options

[Alexander Dacre]

Hi,

I'm having some difficulty with specifying a nogpgcheck option when installing custom RPM packages via Puppet. The problem is that the install_options do not get picked up by the agent.

I've tried the following syntax:

package { blah:

  ensure => latest,

  install_options => [ '--nogpgcheck'],

}

package { blah:

  ensure => latest,

  install_options => '--nogpgcheck',

}

But the client just doesn't pick it up and the run fails due to the package not being signed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

A

Hi,

Suggest signing the packages ;>

But in efforts to help with your Puppet configuration, it seems that the
provider might not understand the install option. What messages do you
get when running with --debug? What type of system is this? Which
package system are you using?

Best regards,

Found the issue. The node in question was running an older (2.7) Puppet agent.
