    I need to make sure that kernel devel is installed for the working kernel This doesn't work
    Copy code
    package { 'kernel-devel':
  ensure => $facts['kernelrelease'],
}
  • v
    Because one can have several packages installed
    Copy code
    # puppet resource package kernel-devel
package { 'kernel-devel':
  ensure   => '4.18.0-425.10.1.el8_7; 4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7; 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8',
  provider => 'dnf',
}
  • v
    Can I express it via package resource or have to use an Exec ?
  • b
    Are you trying to install the kernel-devel package JUST for the currently running kernel or for all installed kernel RPMs?

    Your first example worked for me.

    it only works if no kernel-devel installed before
  • v
    Copy code
    Error: Could not update: Failed to update to version 4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7.x86_64, got version 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8; 4.18.0-425.10.1.el8_7; 4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7 instead
  • b
    Define, "installed before", please. I have zero kernel-devel packages on my system at this time and your puppet code installs only one kernel-devel package which is appropriate to the running kernel
  • b
    Do you have a limit on the kernel in /etc/yum.conf?
  • v
    You can have multiple kernel-devel packages installed
  • b
    max_kernels or something like that.
  • v
    with different versions
  • b
    I mean /etc/dnf.conf.
  • b
    Sorry, I'm an old dog...still using yum.
  • v
    I don't think it's related and it will be the same problem with yum
  • v
    do this on you system
    Copy code
    puppet resource package kernel
  • v
    you probably have more then one
  • b
    installonly_limit is the parameter I was (incorrectly) referring to.
  • v
    that instruction to package provider as for how many versions to keep
  • v
    it seems to me that package resource is not handling multiple versions of the same package
  • b
    Maybe try changing the value to four and re-run your puppet manifest?
  • v
    It doesn't influence puppet
  • v
    As I said, you can easily reproduce it, try to install another kernel-devel with a different version from the one you just installed
  • v
    I wonder what that last option represent in the manual https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/types/package.html#package-attribute-ensure
  • v
    Copy code
    /./
  • v
    A regex? I tried, doesn't seem to work either

    @vchepkov, the behavior is the same if you use 'gpg-pubkey' instead of kernel-devel. The rpm command that dnf uses to report the current version of kernel-devel might be something to look at.
