Description

Use case

In many uses cases, we want the method to install the dependencies for the package (for apt and rpm)
The local install use rpm instead of yum, and he is not able to install dependencies https://github.com/Normation/ncf/blob/c1d12a1bed1ea23ab5e3ef3c60f8d4702c642892/tree/10_ncf_internals/modules/packages/yum#L391

Fix ideas

  • We can use yum instead
    • Ideally upstream at CFEngine
    • Do the same for apt

Workaround

For now, we have two workarounds
  • Install the dependencies with the method package present before the installation of the actual package
  • Use command execution method to use yum
