FAQ
Hi All.

I would like to remove packages in a specified order because they are
connected with dependencies.
I use:
#cat /etc/redhat-release;uname -r
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64
#rpm -qa | grep -i puppet
puppet-3.1.0-1.el6.noarch

In my module manifest:
class base::dell {
..
package { "Lib_Utils": ensure => absent }
package { "MegaCli": ensure => absent }
..
}
Is there a way to ensure that MegaCli will be uninstalled before Lib_Utils
and then Lib_Utils will be removed? How can I in puppet language enforce
package dependencies in this case?

Best regards,
Rafal Radecki.

    Hi Rafal,

    the before meta-parameter would help you here:

    package{ 'Lib_Utils':
    ensure => absent,
    before => Package['MegaCli'],
    }

    Cheers

    Or you could turn it around and use "require => Package['Lib_Utils']"
    metaparameter on Package['MegaCli']. For inter-packages dependencies on a
    system with a decent package manager (such as CentOS with yum/rpm),
    however, I would urge you to make sure your packages declare their
    dependencies correctly, and then just let the package manager handle it.
