Hi all,

First off, I want to say I am pretty new at the whole munki/autopkg topic. I have taken over the responsibility from someone else a while ago, but only now I started looking under the hood. So forgive me if I miss something obvious or say something dumb :P

Secondly, the setup:
  • Mac Mini running macOS 10.10
  • AutoPkgr doing most of the heavy lifting
  • Everything up to date (AutoPkgr 1.5.4, AutoPkg 2.1, Munki tools 5.0.1.4059, git 2.2.1)
The machine keeps the munki repository up to date, while I connect to it from my laptop via MunkiAdmin (1.7.1) to handle the deployment.

Third, the problem. I realized we were still running munkitools3, so I decided to upgrade to munkitools5. AutoPkgr runs the recipe just fine, but I noticed that one of the component packages is not being processed during the extraction and ends up missing from the repository: munkitools_launchd.
The package is required for some of the other tools, and the installation fails when trying to deploy the tools.

I tried the munkitools4 recipe, and I see the same behavior. I had a look at the logs, and they don't seem too helpful.

If I run autopkg manually from the terminal I get the following:

My understanding is that the "without_trust" warning isn't a big problem, but I don't know why nothing is being downloaded (remember, n00b).

I spent the afternoon trying to figure it out, but I think it is time to ask for help :(

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Run your recipe with -vv to get more verbose output.

Almost certainly nothing is downloaded because it has _already_ downloaded the item, and nothing is imported because it has already imported the item.

Hi Greg,

Sorry for the belated reply. I haven't had the time to look into this yet, but I will. Thanks for the pointer :)

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the pointer. I have removed the cached files, let AutoPkgr do its thing, and everything worked. I still have to understand a bit better the way AutoPkgr handles both autopkg and the munki integration.

Anyway, thanks again :)
