Description

  • Technique name: Package management for RHEL / CentOS / SuSE / RPM systems
  • Technique version: 5.1
  • Package to be installed: gd.i386

This is what is installed:

# yum list installed gd | tail -1
gd.x86_64                      2.0.33-9.4.el5_4.2                      installed

This is what i found in the logs:

2014-09-08T11:07:16+0200  verbose: /default/check_rpm_package_installation/packages/'gd.i386'[0]: Running /usr/bin/yum -y install gd.i386-* in shell

Which is correct:

# yum install gd.i386-*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
No package gd.i386-* available.
Nothing to do

It should be installed like this (mind the omitted dash):

# yum install gd.i386*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package gd.i386 0:2.0.33-9.4.el5_4.2 set to be updated
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

In the past the technique did install the correct package - i386 on a 64 bit system. Can't remember the last version of Rudder/technique where it was still working.

Hm, this is indeed a problem, maybe linked to the port to ncf and the usage of the stock stdlib again. Benoît, do you know if something has been changed recently in this Technique ?

I tested this, it seems that CFEngine now really expects us to specify package_architecture => { "arch" }; to make this work...

That sounds better to me than to specify it in the package name. Does it mean that the tecnique needs an additional checkbox to choose between i386 and x86_64?

This is still not fixed. At the moment I can't reliably install (i386) packages on RHEL/CentOS.

Also reporting is flaky:

fuse            Error taking action for RPM package fuse with policy: add                          Error
fuse-ntfs-3g    Performed repair action for RPM package fuse-ntfs-3g to comply with policy: add    Repaired
gd.i386         Performed repair action for RPM package gd.i386 to comply with policy: add         Repaired

And now the real situation for these packages:

# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" fuse
fuse-x86_64
# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" fuse-ntfs-3g
fuse-ntfs-3g-x86_64
# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" gd
gd-x86_64
gd-i386

In other words Rudder reporting on this is really wrong; I can't rely on it.

I'm closing that ticket because we created new package technique for exactly that kind of problem. Please feel free to reopen the ticket if the problem persists with them.
