Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install python-lxml-install' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

[Sophie Loe]

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if you could help me find out why my new .pp would not install packages.

I created a new class and assigned to a host.

I run puppet agent --test and the packages were attempted but failed. 

When I tried with yum install $packagename they worked.

The messages were like:
May 28 12:38:13 centos6-radius0-kawazu puppet-agent[2693]: (/Stage[main]/Package::Ha_cluster_packages/Package[python-lxml]/ensure) change from absent to install failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install python-lxml-install' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

My class is defined like:
$ cat ha_cluster_packages.pp

class package::ha_cluster_packages {
    package { "openais-devel":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "corosynclib-devel":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "pacemaker":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "corosync":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "python-dateutil":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "python-lxml":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "pacemaker-pyguiel":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "pssh":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "redhat-rpm-config":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "crmsh":
        ensure => "install"
    }
    package { "crmsh-debuginfo":
        ensure => "install"
    }
}


Does anybody see how I messed up?

Thanks lots,
Sophie

You're using ensure incorrectly. By giving it a value of 'install', Puppet thinks you want the version of each package to be 'install' (which clearly isn't valid).

Most likely you're looking for "ensure => present,"

You can look at the Type Reference for more specifics: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/4.1.latest/type.html#package

Or "installed", with an "ed".  The clue could have been that "install" is a verb; resource properties represent state, and therefore they ordinarily take the form of adjectives or nouns.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I have changed install to present and ran this again.

Had less errors but some the same.

Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install libmysqlclient-dev' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

Error: /Stage[main]/Package::Ha_cluster_packages/Package[libmysqlclient-dev]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install libmysqlclient-dev' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

Checked and this was not installed before:
# rpm -qa|grep libmysqlclient
#

I see that my package name  libmysqlclient-dev is wrong.
Thanks for your help.

I want to make beautiful things even if nobody cares.
