Which version of the Technique Package management for RHEL / CentOS / SUSE / RPM systems did you used to have these errors ? Did you change the versions of the Technique after the upgrade ?

It could be an error returned by the package manager which have been caught by CFEngine, it is easy to test:

On CentOS:

yum install git
echo $?

If the code is not 0, this is considered a an error

The problem is that the packages are already installed by Rudder 2.5. Rudder 2.5 reported Success, which is true, while Rudder 2.6 reports Error.

# yum install git
Loaded plugins: etckeeper, rhnplugin, security
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.

I'm not sure. I copied the techniques from /opt/rudder/share/techniques/ to /var/rudder/configuration-repository, dit a Git commit and reloaded the technique lib. It looks like this solved the problem.

Ok, I'm pretty sure this is what happened :)

What was the version of the previous Rudder ?

It is unfortunate that we have never been able to reproduce this, or determine why it happened.

However, there have been quite a few fixes to rpmPackageInstallation recently, hopefully they correct whatever happened here... I don't like closing a bug without knowing why, but since Dennis' installation "fixed itself", and we have no way of knowing how to reproduce this, OK.

Please re-open if this occurs again.
