requiring the class generates the ordering

because the yum repos are generated as part of the class

Thanks, I didn't have to order the yumrepo => package at all. Looks like it's already ordered properly by design.

I have another issue now. I'm installing a Microsoft linux RPM (ironic, isn't it?) and the RPM has a preinstall scriptlet that is asking "Yes or no?" before the package will install. In addition, if I were to: ACCEPT_EULA=Y yum install -y msodbc, then it installs fine. I couldn't find anything in the package resource that would either set an environment variable or echo in a "YES" to the package installer. Other than repackaging the RPM myself, is there any method for Puppet to install the MS package? https://gist.github.com/bschonec/9088abd158837f0b783105c38c36b63a

it's ugly, but would setting the yum command to something that passes the env variable in work for that package?

you probably could also hack together a exec with a creates => of one of the files the RPM drops, and then have that before => the yum package (so that you have a yum package in the puppet catalog to reference)

but I honestly would ping microsoft and tell them to cut it out

rpm is meant to be non-interactive

We've had to use

exec

+ `yum`/`dpkg` to set environment variables for IBM GPFS where it needs something set to do an upgrade w/o unmounting filesystems. It's ugly but works

It is frustrating how it seems the big vendors have trouble understanding exactly how packaging is supposed to work

Too many junior dev silos

or

/etc/sysconfig/puppet

Unless the vendor can fix the problem, I'd use an

exec

resource in puppet to run

ACCEPT_EULA=Y yum install -y msodbc

.

I recall a ticket was created eons ago to allow path environment variables to package providers

7/27/2023 11:33 AM Checking puppet-agent.msi version and expected puppet-agent version.. 7/27/2023 11:33 AM ERROR: The expected puppet-agent version(6.17.0) does NOT match the .msi version 7.21.0. Installation will STOP! 7/27/2023 11:33 AM ERROR: ScriptHalted

See these errors on my installer log. I have setup Agent using the Powershell script from PE and tried setting it up manually as well

Still seeing these errors

Posted in #C0W1Z7213 as it relates to some of the DSC modules, but this could be just a general Puppet knowledge-gap. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I think I may have found a bug in Puppet 7.20.0-1 via Epel on Redhat. But I don't know if it's known, or fixed, or if I'm just plain wrong, so I wanted to run it by smarter people first.
