upgrade puppet issues using puppet

using rpm for puppet-2.6.4 and 2.6.6 from http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/epel

Bug: ensure => latest requires three puppet restart to recover¶

if repo for puppet-2.6.6 is not yet defined in /etc/yum.repos.d for example repo for 2.6.4 is defined but not in the same repo as puppet-2.6.6 whose definition is being pushed out

Proof: yum remove -y puppet-2.6.6-xxx rm /etc/yum.repos.d/xxx.repo yum install -y puppet-2.6.4-1.xxx from some other repo 1st puppet run only add repo but no upgrade 2nd puppet run does the upgrade but then dead debug: /Stage[main]/Puppet/Package[puppet]/ensure: puppet “2.6.4-1.xxx” is installed, latest is “2.6.6-0.1.rc1.el5” debug: Packagepuppet: Ensuring => latest debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing ‘/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install puppet’ notice: Caught TERM; calling stop

Bug: if hard code ensure => “2.6.6.xx” then still two puppet start to recover where puppet stop after yum upgrade¶

debug: Packagepuppet: Ensuring => 2.6.6-0.1.rc1.el5 debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing ‘/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install puppet-2.6.6-0.1.rc1.el5’ notice: Caught TERM; calling stop

Bug: sudo touch /etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf then start puppet again because rpm missing namespaceauth.conf¶

cat: /etc/puppet/namespaceauth.conf: No such file or directory

class puppet { package { “puppet”:

ensure => latest, # versus "2.6.6-0.1.rc1.el5",
require => Yumrepo[apprepo],

} service { “puppet”:

enable => true,
require => Package[puppet]

} }
