Description

This may be related somehow to bug #2662. It appears that installing an RPM that contains it’s arch as part of the package name (IBM is using $kernelver.$arch) causes puppet to report that it’s installation failed even though it didn’t.

Joshua,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. I’m in the process of trying to reproduce this, can you provide the name of the package in question? Not sure if you are installing from a public repo, if so can you provide the repository details?

Hi Kelsey,

The complete name of the rpm is gpfs.gplbin-2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64-3.4.0-8.x86_64.rpm. That’s gpfs.gplbin-$kernelversion.$kernelarch-$pkgversion.$pkgarch.rpm GPFS is commercial software and it’s not provided in a yum repo (I had to build my own). However, I may be able to give you a copy of the RPM in question since it’s GPL’d kernel code. I’d need to double check to make sure there isn’t anything else of IBM’s in the package.

Are you unable to reproduce this issue via just package name?

This should be same problem as in #2662
