Yum_package not removing rpms

johng · February 3, 2020, 10:10pm

Tried this first to remove packages.

package %w(McAfeeVSEForLinux MFEcma MFErt) do
  action :remove # Remove a package
end

Then this.

%w(McAfeeVSEForLinux MFEcma MFErt).each do |pkg|
  package pkg do
    action :remove
  end
end

chef-client debug output says removed.

Hi johng.

It sort of looks like some pedantic package name matching on the Chef side that the yum command takes a looser approach to. In your first message, you see that the packages Chef is trying to remove have certain names:

McAfeeVSEForLinux-0:1.9.0.28822-28822.noarch

MFEcma-0:4.8.0-1500.i686

MFErt-0:2.0-0.i686

While the yum query shows the "arch" in a different location in the package name:

McAfeeVSEForLinux.noarch

MFEcma.i686

MFErt.i686

I'd try giving the package names to the package resource in that format, with the arch directly after the application name, to see if the package resource would find them.

The package name in the yum database is a quirky bit of metadata. So while your software identifies itself as "app-version.arch", the package name is stored differently in the database based on what was in the specfile (rpm buildfile) and the index key works from that. The command line tools for yum are probably doing some fuzzier matching on the package names, since it's going to ask the user to verify the removal in the process. It's been a few years since I've built rpms, but it used to be a common annoyance.

I gave this a try with arch. Same result. rpm's not removed.

  action :remove
  arch 'noarch'
end
%w(MFEcma MFErt).each do |pkg|
  yum_package pkg do
    action :remove
    arch 'i686'
  end
end

mandi_walls · February 4, 2020, 5:35pm

yeah, i don't think arch is where the issue is, it's just in the package name itself. adding arch is appending to the end of the package-version, which is usually correct, while the package is tracked in the db as {package.arch}-version but {package.arch} is the actual package name key you'll want to use in the package resource. so it's giving you the same package not found message from before.

johng · February 4, 2020, 6:07pm

OK. This is the debug output using {package.arch} format.

mandi_walls · February 4, 2020, 11:47pm

hm. that is weird. what happens if you use the long name for the packages?

McAfeeVSEForLinux-1.9.2.29197-29197.noarch

MFEcma-4.8.0-1938.i686

MFErt-2.0-1.i686

is there anything weird looking from

rpm -qi MFEcma

that should give all the package information for that rpm, and the "Name" is what might be odd.
