versionlock should trigger `yum clean all`

TJM commented 4 years ago

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

Puppet: 5.5.18
Ruby: ruby 2.4.9p362 (2019-10-02 revision 67824) [x86_64-linux]
Distribution: CentOS 7.8
Module version: 3f35c565a38

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Install a specific version of a package with versionlock enabled
Update version (and versionlock)
Install fails until you yum clean all

What are you seeing

Error: Could not update: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install kubelet-1.15.12' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do
Error: /Stage[main]/Kubernetes::Packages/Package[kubelet]/ensure: change from 'purged' to '1.15.12' failed: Could not update: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install kubelet-1.15.12' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

What behaviour did you expect instead

Notice: /Stage[main]/Kubernetes::Packages/Package[kubelet]/ensure: created

Output log

(see above)

Any additional information you'd like to impart

I think any change to yum repos or versionlock should trigger a yum clean all (perhaps optionally?)

I wonder if this could be achieved setting the

yum::plugin::versionlock::clean: true

Looking at https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-yum/blob/master/manifests/plugin/versionlock.pp#L7, if the default was 'true' instead of 'false', it looks like we would get the behavior that Tommy suggests.

oh yea. Why would it default to false? (shrug) Thanks for the pointer.
