[salt-users] Can't able to install a package (glusterfs) on minions using saltstack

[o***@fractalio.com]

Hi all,

Am trying to install rpm packages on minions using salt.
I succeeded for "smartmontools" package but its not working for "glusterfs"
pacakges.
I tried to change the name "glusterfs " to "glusterfs-3.5" but not working.

All I want is to install all the glusterfs-* packages by salt on the
minions by resolving dependencies.

OS: Centos 6.5

File : /srv/salt/fr.sls

fractalpkgs:
pkgrepo.managed:
- humanname: Fractal Packages
- baseurl: http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx/fractallocal

glusterfs:
pkg.installed:
- fromrepo: Fractal Packages
- skip_verify: True
- refresh: True

smartmontools:
pkg.installed:
- fromrepo: Fractal Packages

- refresh: True

You should add dependencies like:
- require:
- pkgrepo: fractalpkgs

Same as above.

Can you verify that the repo is already proper configured?
Please post `yum repolist` result and content of /etc/yum.repos.d/xxx ?

Am success fully able to install rpm packages through yum as I did some
changes that fractalpkgs.sls file :

fractalpkgs:
pkgrepo.managed:
- humanname: Fractal Packages
- baseurl: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fractallocal
- require_in:
- pkg: smartmontools

smartmontools:
pkg.installed:
- skip_verify: True
- refresh: True

glusterfs:
pkg.installed:
- skip_verify: True
- refresh: True

From the previous mail you can see I omitted "Fromrepo: " field thats why I
succeeded in installing it. Can you please throw some light on this ?

Well, the name you used in your fromrepo block was obviously not correct. I
can only ask again: How would you install the package manually? Salt simply
passes the argument to fromrepo to yum, so you have to use a name yum
understands.

This coukd have easily been a bit easier...

Well, thanks.

The documentation says :
http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.pkg.html
fromrepo : specifies a repository from which to install.

This is my /etc/yum.repo.d/fractallocal.repo contents :







*# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fractallocal.repo [FRACTALLOCAL]name=Fractal
Packagesbaseurl=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fractallocal
<http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fractallocal>enable=1gpgcheck=0*

What parameter I should give for fromrepo ? Is it needed in
/srv/salt/fractalpkgs.sls? Why it is working now ?
When to use "fromrepo" ?
















*Here are the contents of /srv/salt/fractalpkgs.sls? Can you please analyze
this issue? fractalpkgs: pkgrepo.managed: - humanname: Fractal

fractalpkgs.sls? Why it is working now ?
When to use "fromrepo" ?

You give "fromrepo" exactly the same argument as the option you would pass to
your package manager. This has nothing to do with the way you configure your
repository in salt, but how your repository presents itself to the packaging
system. I have been trying to get you to reveal the *manual* command that you
would use on your minion to install that package without success for some time,
so I'm not going to start guessing now.

But let me give you a different example:

repo-wheezy-backports:
pkgrepo.managed:
- humanname: Wheezy Backports Repository
- name: deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy-backports main
- dist: wheezy-backports
- comps: main,contrib,non-free
- consolidate: True
- require:
- pkg: python-apt

would setup a standard wheezy-backports repository on Debian. If you wanted to
install packages from there you'd do that by calling "apt-get -t wheezy-backport
install $PKG". That is you would pass "wheezy-backports" rather than "Wheezy
Backports Repository" to the package manager as the package manager has no idea
about your salt states (nor should it). The value of the "fromrepo" key would,
conversely, also be "wheezy-backports".

Now, for the last time: *How would you install packages from your repository
manually?* ?

[Omkar Sharma]

Thanks.
How would you install packages from your repository
manually?

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall <rpm_name> ...am using
Centos, works on it.

As discussed on IRC: Please try installing the software manually on the command
line and verify that the package name is correct and that the repository (which
you created yourself IIRC) has been configured properly.
