Hi,
we need to remove Debian Packages via cfengine. Unfortunately this
doesn't work.
We have the following config on standard debian etch:
<---------
control:
actionsequence = ( packages )
DPKGInstallCommand = ( "/usr/bin/aptitude -q -y install %s" )
DPKGRemoveCommand = ( "/usr/bin/aptitude -q -y remove %s" )
debian::
DefaultPkgMgr = ( dpkg )
!debian::
DefaultPkgMgr = ( rpm )
packages:
debian::
vim action=install
define=havevim
nano action=remove
cmp=ge
version=0.1
>---------
Install works, uninstall doesn't. We examined this problem and it
seems, the remove command wasn't invoked at all. Further investigation
and trial and error leeds to the following workarround:
cfengine-2.2.7/src/do.c:
function CheckPackages():
[...]
/* Handle install/remove logic now. */
if (match)
{
AddMultipleClasses(ptr->defines);
if (ptr->action == pkgaction_remove)
{
PackageList(ptr,name,ptr->pkgmgr,ptr->ver,ptr-
>cmp,&pending_pkgs);
/* added to pass the packages, wich should be removed, to the remove
command */
AppendItem(&pending_pkgs,name, NULL);
/* Some package managers operate best doing things one at a
time. */
if ((ptr->pkgmgr == pkgmgr_freebsd) || (ptr->pkgmgr ==
pkgmgr_sun) || (ptr->pkgmgr == pkgmgr_dpkg)) /* added DPKG to invoke
remove command */
{
RemovePackage(ptr,ptr->pkgmgr,&pending_pkgs);
DeleteItemList(pending_pkgs);
pending_pkgs = NULL;
}
}
else if (ptr->action == pkgaction_upgrade || (ptr->action ==
pkgaction_fix))
[...]
I'm no skilled C cfengine developer, therefore it maybe a dirty
workarround, but we didn't get this to wotk otherwise. Please
investigate this issue.
Thank you.
Florian
