Problem with apt-cache policy

Jacobo_Garcia · December 9, 2009, 2:39am

Hi,

I’m working on a chef Ruby Enterprise Cookbook that uses Brightbox apt
repository in case that the machine that is going to be installed is ubuntu
8.04. The recipe goes like this:

First I add brightbox sources.list file and perform apt-get update
Then I declare the package libruby-1.8 with the following lines:

package “libruby-1.8” do
action :install
action :upgrade
end

But chef is not working as I expected and it stays on not installing ruby.

In the log there’s the following information:

[Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:21:19 -0500] INFO: Ran execute[apt-get update]
successfully
[Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:21:19 -0500] DEBUG: Processing package[libruby-1.8]

Also apt-cache policy libruby1.8 shows:

libruby1.8:
Installed: 1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1.3

What am I missing?

Thanks.

What happens if you just do action :upgrade?

Hrm - that's very odd, Jacobo. If there is a new package available, we
should definitely be installing it. Do you have anything setting
package pinning?
