Install local rpm with puppet

[Juliano Resende]

Hi people,

I created a module to install some rpms, but after rpm is installed, in the next time the agent go check for new changes in my puppet master, i get the error with the information that rpm packages is already installed.

My module 

 package {'epel-repo-centos7':

                  ensure => present,

                  provider => 'rpm',

                  install_options => ['-ivh'],

                  source => "/tmp/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm",

                  require => File["/tmp/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm"],

              }

 file { "/tmp/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm":

                  source => "puppet:///modules/repository/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm"

 }

Error

Level	Message	Source	File	Line	Time
err	Execution of '/bin/rpm -i -ivh /tmp/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm' returned 1: Preparing... ################################################## package puppetlabs-release-6-10.noarch is already installed	Puppet			2014-08-21 13:46 BRT

Somebody knows why?

Thanks.

Hi,

I made a mistake, the name of the rpm package is wrong, the correct form is

 package {'epel-release-7-0.2.noarch':

                 ensure => present,

                 provider => 'rpm',

                 install_options => ['-ivh'],

                 source => "/tmp/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm",

                 require => File["/tmp/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm"],

             }

             file { "/tmp/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm":

                 source => "puppet:///modules/core/repository/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm"

             }

Thanks any way

Hi Juliano,

>> package epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm is already installed

You are using -ivh, so if package is already installed it will fail.
Which is apparently the case.
You should use -Uvh, (U for upgrade) meaning in case the package you try
to install is more recent that the one that is installed, it will
upgrade it.

Also not sure why you don't use the EPEL module on the forge
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/stahnma/epel, which does install EPEL
pretty well.

Hope it helps,
