Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

  • Puppet: 7.17.0
  • Ruby: 2.7.6
  • Distribution: RHEL 7
  • Module version: 9.2.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

class{ 'zabbix::agent':
    zabbix_package_state => present,
    zabbix_version       => '5.4',
    manage_firewall      => false,
    manage_repo          => true,
    service_ensure       => running,
    service_enable       => true,
    server               => $server,
    hostmetadata         => '',
    hostname             => $facts['networking']['fqdn'],
    serveractive         => "${server}:10051",
  }

What are you seeing

The centos-release-scl package is attempted to be installed, which fails because it does not exist on RHEL 7.

What behaviour did you expect instead

The centos-release-scl package is skipped for RHEL 7.

Output log

Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install centos-release-scl' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do
/Stage[main]/Zabbix::Repo/Package[zabbix-required-scl-repo]/ensure | change from 'purged' to 'latest' failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install centos-release-scl' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

Any additional information you'd like to impart

Note that this only affects RHEL 7 specifically, the 9.2.0 release works fine on RHEL 8.

It looks like this bug has been around for a while, but it was previously isolated only to the zabbix::web class, so just using zabbix::agent sidestepped the issue. Since #801 the code was moved to the zabbix::repo class, which affects everything using the managed repo on RHEL 7.

It looks like this conditional just needs to check for the OS name to omit RHEL:

if ($facts['os']['release']['major'] == '7' and versioncmp($zabbix_version, '5.0') >= 0) {

This one hit us too. I have a PR in the works but have to wait for this one to be merged first (fixes CI tests): #834

and i just hit this too....

i see that #834 is now merged also :)

this has been fixed in #887
