state pkg won't install package nscd #875

dhoffutt · 2012-03-09T21:50:15Z

CentOS 6.1; Salt 0.9.7

Have created this salt file:

    pam_ldap:
      pkg:
        - installed
        - order: 1
    openldap-clients:
      pkg:
        - installed
        - order: 2
    openldap:
      pkg:
        - installed
        - order: 3
    nscd:
      pkg:
        - installed
        - order: 4
    nss-pam-ldapd:
      pkg:
        - installed
        - order: 5
    authconfig:
      pkg:
        - installed
        - order: 6

Running this works great until it reaches installing package nscd. On the minion, running "salt-call -l debug state.highstate" produces this:

    local:
    ----------
        State: - pkg
        Name:      nscd
        Function:  installed
            Result:    False
            Comment:   Package nscd failed to install
            Changes:

The log_level was set to debug on the minion, and shows this:

[INFO    ] Executing state pkg.installed for nscd

Running rpm_check_debug
[ERROR   ] No changes made for nscd
[ERROR   ] No changes made for nscd
[INFO    ] Loading fresh modules for stat

Saying "No changes for nscd" might lead one to believe it's already installed and up-to-date, but it was not installed yet. Have been playing with this for half a day using VMs and restoring a sane snapshot. It performs in this same manner every single time.

Further, I had been counting on nss-pam-ldapd package to install nscd as a prerequisite - though no error was thrown when doing it this way, nscd never installed as a result either - so that's why I have been trying to explicitly install nscd with its own state entry.

Thank you!

Can you try salt-call -l debug pkg.install nscd and paste the results please?

dhoffutt · 2012-03-09T21:51:49Z

Oops - failed to mention:

Running yum install -y nscd works flawlessly - so it isn't an issue with the RPM, I would think...

Yessir:

Also, thought I would include what happens if I run yum manually (I can restore VM snapshot to return to previous state):

Thanks for the info, I am going to bump this up to 0.9.8 and try to reproduce it.

thatch45 · 2012-03-17T05:05:28Z

This is clearly an issue in the yumpkg module, by using the new provider interface coming in 0.9.8 and changing to use yumpkg5 it installs without issue

hopefully I will have a solution soon

This seems to work fine on my EL6 boxes, I do have SELinux disabled however. And I see bugs that existed around SELinux related to similar issues. I will re-enabled SELinux and do some more testing. Do you know what SELinux is set to on the systems that you have seem this on?

I don't have a 6.1 box anymore. Also SELinux is set to permissive on this box at the moment.

thatch45 · 2012-03-17T20:00:26Z

Aha! I do have SELinux set to enforcing, Salt must be running under a restricted context! Thanks for looking, I should have thought of this. Actually, I am surprised that Salt as worked as well as it has with SELinux on Enforcing.

When set to permissive mode nscd installs without issue.

I will figure out what we need to change

thatch45 · 2012-03-17T20:07:29Z

It has been too long since I have worked a lot with SELinux, I am going to close this ticket based on the fact that we do not yet have Salt fully supported under SELinux
