Rudder

I guess it happens because the use of "latest" version is not expected on a package file, but only on a package coming from a repo. Does it work with the "any" version (or a specific version)?

I believe the problem is that I want to install a file-based RPM but use zypper. It is a valid usecase for me at the moment because rpm does not handle dependencies, and zypper in to pull in the dependencies of it.

...

Apparently the issue's origin is here:

rudder    debug: Opened fds 4 and 7 for command '/var/rudder/cfengine-community/modules/packages/zypper get-package-data'.
rudder    debug: Data read from application pipe: 17 [PackageType=file
]

Which causes it to be installed as file, which then defaults to using rpm:

rudder    debug: Installing file type package.
rudder    debug: Installing package '/var/rudder/tmp/keepalived.rpm'
rudder    debug: Installing file type package: 'File=/var/rudder/tmp/keepalived.rpm
'
rudder    debug: Sending install command to package module: 'options=
File=/var/rudder/tmp/keepalived.rpm
'
rudder    debug: Opened fds 4 and 7 for command '/var/rudder/cfengine-community/modules/packages/zypper file-install'.

And in /var/rudder/cfengine-community/modules/packages/zypper

def file_install():
    cmd_line = [rpm_cmd] + rpm_quiet_option + ["--force", "-U"]
    found = False

This is the full run trace of the technique call (NB: The stderr output with the installation error appears to be a little bit out of sync with the regular output, probably somekind of caching and displaying race condition).
