Jira (PUP-1364) Yum package arch and version ensuring failing

[Jason Antman (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Jason Antman commented on an issue   Re: Yum package arch and version ensuring failing The problem is the yum provider's naive interpretation of the package name - it is NOT (currently) parsed the way yum does. If you specify a package by name and version, puppet tries to install a package called "name-version". Seems to me that the solution is to add an "arch" or "architecture" parameter to the package type, pass that on to yum, and take it into account when yum lists available and installed packages, and when it tries to install a new one. That should really also be included in the package identity somehow, as it's perfectly valid to tell yum to install "packagename-1.2.3.x86_64" and "packagename-1.2.3.i686" simultaneously. I've done some related work for PUP-1244... perhaps some of that would make this easier.
