bcfg2 client YUMng will no longer install missing packages.

[Chris Stankaitis <cstankaitis@…>]

I upgraded my Bcfg2 install to SVN revision 5481 and my client will no longer install packages which are missing on a server.

I am using YUMng and the Packages plugin.

a few weeks ago you gave me a patch for YUMng.py since I was having the same issue. the patch did the following.

Note. I used this new YUMng.py and it is still unable to install packages so it appears to be something new. Please let me know how I can help track this down and fix it.

Update this seems to be localized to installing missing packages as far as I can tell Yumng.py can still upgrade existing packages on server to newer versions... but it's not dealing with packages which are listed in the bundle but not on the box. I.E. if the bundle says server A needs to have "mutt" installed right now it will not install that package if it's missing.

hope that helps narrow down where to look in the code for this.

Working Version given to me by desai

[Chris Stankaitis <cstankaitis@…>]

The File I just added is a patched YUMng.py which desai gave me. it was patched against 1.0pre5 where I was having a similar issue. This patched file worked for me until I upgraded to Trunk.

Even if I revert the YUMng.py to the "working" version I have it still doesn't work so I don't think the problem is in YUMng.py 100% but in something that it touches or that touches it that determines if a package is in a bundle and missing on the server.

Please close this ticket. After debugging with Desai we determined that this issue was user error on my part. YUMng.py is functioning properly.
