downgrading package with puppet

[tetlika]

hi, I have a problem  with puppet sw management

when I do in puppet:

package { "nginx" :

        ensure => "1.8.1-1"

}

the nginx version 1.8.1 is successfully installed and everything is fine

when later on the same machine I do:

package { "nginx" :

        ensure => "1.8.0-1"

}

I receive error:

ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not find package nginx-1.8.0-1

why is that happening?

thx

Which provider are you using? Are you sure this version is available?

Enable --debug logging on the agent to see, among other things, the actual yum command that Puppet is executing, and yum's output.  I think you'll find that yum disagrees with you about the package's availability.

Hi!

YUM provider has problems with downgrade - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-users/3Nkx1gtcGyc

Maybe it is a good idea to manually remove (and then run puppet) or downgrade the package, cause downgrading is not a good idea for any package manager…

Best Regards!

Try "yum downgrade package-version".

It works?

Maybe the problem is yum and not puppet.
