Description

100% reproducible issue, can't install clamav via rudder ncf.

So what I know:
Centos7
EPEL Repo is the one delivering clamav

The packages available are
[root@ip-172-31-13-51 ~]# yum list available| grep clam
clamav.x86_64 0.99.2-1.el7 epel
clamav-data.noarch 0.99.2-1.el7 epel

clamav-unofficial-sigs.noarch 3.7.2-1.el7 epel
clamav-update.x86_64 0.99.2-1.el7 epel

only clamav is mentioned in that technique.

manually doing yum -y install clamav works flawless, this is a bug.
I'm 90% sure it's related to the number of dashes in packages if they share a common name part.

Related to Rudder - Bug #9547: package_install should use another package body when using a specific package versionReleasedNicolas CHARLESActions
Actions #1

Updated by Jonathan CLARKE about 8 years ago

That looks bad indeed.

There are several issues in the existing package_install* ncf methods that boil down to major issues in the underlying implementation.

In Rudder 3.2.8 we introduced two new methods, package_present and package_absent. These are based on an entirely new underlying implementation and initial testing had showed they succeed where the old methods fail.

May I suggest you test these methods? We'd love to hear your feedback.

See http://www.ncf.io/pages/reference.html#package_present

Assuming these methods work well, the long term plan is for them to phase out the older ones.

I'll upgrade and switch this affected technique.
migrating all of them sounds like a good case for sed, if it's just switching the method being called... :-)

Updated by Alexis Mousset over 7 years ago

  • Target version set to 3.1.19

We may be able to fix this by having different bodies with different package_name_convention whether we have a defined version or not.

The best option is to use the new package Technique when possible.

It is specific to old package technique/methods.

OK, then changing the visibility to Operational, because this won't be visible on new setups.

  • Priority changed from 54 to 76

The severity of this issue was underestimated, because it was seen as an impossibility to install a package (with correct reporting). It should actually have been considered critical as it has unwanted and unreported effects on target systems (i.e. install more packages than expected) that could, in some rare cases, break systems or increase attack surface.
