Hi,
I was trying to instal puppet-enterprise-2.5.1-el-5-x86_64 in centos6
machine. But got below error.
## Installing packages from files...

1. Then I checked my java version which is > what is required.
java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02, mixed mode)
That exhibits the java executable's idea of its version, which has
nothing to do with the problem. The issue revolves around the
features declared by packages (RPMs) installed on your system and
those available from the configured repositories.
For CentOS 6, you would normally expect the "java" feature to be
provided by package java-1.6.0-openjdk or java-1.5.0-gcj (or both).
These are available on the CentOS install media and from the standard
CentOS repositories. Alternatively, I think you can get an installer
from Oracle that provides an RPM (that used to be the case under Sun,
anyway), and you should always prefer that one on RPM-based systems
such as CentOS. (Indeed, it is unwise to install *any* unpackaged
software on an RPM-based system if you have or can create a packaged
version.)
That yum emitted the error you describe indicates that
1) either your RPM database is borked, OR
2a) your Java is not installed from RPM, AND
2b) the CentOS standard repositories are disabled or inaccessible, OR
3) whatever Java RPM you have does not declare the "java" feature
If the problem is (1) then the command "rpm --rebuilddb" might help.
If not then the system is fundamentally broken, and you should
reinstall the whole thing from scratch.
If the problem is (2) then you should install Java from a suitable
RPM. I recommend java-1.6.0-openjdk, which is the open source version
of what used to be Sun's Java 1.6.0 distribution. If you use a
distribution direct from Oracle the be sure to get the RPM-based
installer. Were I you, I would first remove the unpackaged version,
but perhaps you could get away without doing so. Be warned, however:
removing unpackaged software can be much harder than installing it,
especially if there is other software installed on top.
I can't speak to what you might need to do to fix your repository
configuration, as I have no way to guess what in particular might be
wrong with it.
If the problem is (3) then you should switch Java packages, or at
least install an additional one that provides the needed feature.
