Hello members!!! I would like to define a package in puppet script using case $lsbdistcodename. I already have in the script to install python3-pymodbus to latest but my operating system debian 9 doesn't have the latest package. It works only for python 2.7. when i run the puppet it throws error that unable to locate package. Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg:Options:=--force-confold install python3-pymodbus' returned 100: Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... E: Unable to locate package python3-pymodbus ---------------any leads on this?

I've got this manifest, package gets installed on every run of the agent, how can I avoid this and have it install/update only once?

package {'visualstudiocode22':

require => File['/puppeted/visualstudiocode22.deb'],

provider => dpkg,

source   => "/puppeted/visualstudiocode22.deb",}

@myname, can you post the output of the puppet run?

it's on it, the test machine is sssssssslow

but fact is it's already in the correct version, the new one updated by the .deb

what is the best practice way of managing common dependencies like java, docker engine, other modules may also use them, So I need to have seperate modules for things like docker, java?

It doesn't have to me a separate module for each, can be a profile class in a 'profile' module

okay, thank you

OK, I'm stumped. I'm attempting to pull code using Code Manager in PE 2021.06 and getting this error: Unable to determine current branches for Git source 'puppet' (/etc/puppetlabs/code-staging/environments)\nOriginal exception:\nfailed to start SSH session: Unable to exchange encryption keys at... It was working for me until I updated from PE 2021.04

Have you tried "git clone <path to your git repo>" on the PE server from the command line and as the user that PE uses to pull code?

Yeah, it's successful so long as I set the SSH key to be the one that CM is set to use

I have zero PE experience so I'm just throwing out ideas. I had a similar issue when I fully Puppetized my R10k environment. The puppet user didn't have his public SSH key copied to the GIT server.

And there is always support portal

Fair enough. Just wanted to check here before I went through formal support

Is it possible that your GIT server is no longer accepting certain SSH ciphers that your PE server might be trying to use? When I pushed some security settings, some of those were to eliminate old ciphers in SSH. That caused havoc on a few clients that were trying to talk with unsupported ciphers.

How would I check which ciphers PE tries to use? I can check them on the Bitbucket end

For linux /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Or run this.

I'm not sure about what PE would use.

Yeah, I haven't changed anything in sshd_config. That's actually managed by Puppet

But on the source code control side, check the sshd_config. Again, I'm a linux guy so my experience doesn't deviate to other OSs.

No worries. All Linux here 🙂

I've been out of the Puppet scene for about five years so I'm still quite rusty. I'm back into the swing of things now and am amazed how much has changed in that time.
