Puppet is stuck on all exec nodes (inter alia tools-exec-* and tools-webgrid-*): | err: /Stage[main]/Toollabs::Exec_environ/Package[openjdk-7-jre-headless]/ensure: change from 7u51-2.4.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 to 7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.12.04.2 failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install openjdk-7-jre-headless' returned 100: Reading package lists... | Building dependency tree... | Reading state information... | The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: | python-mailer python-pyparsing | Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. | The following extra packages will be installed: | openjdk-7-jre-lib | Suggested packages: | libnss-mdns sun-java6-fonts ttf-dejavu-extra fonts-ipafont-mincho | Recommended packages: | icedtea-7-jre-jamvm | The following NEW packages will be installed: | openjdk-7-jre-lib | The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: | openjdk-7-jre-headless | 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded. | Need to get 41.0 MB of archives. | After this operation, 1362 kB disk space will be freed. | E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes | at /etc/puppet/modules/toollabs/manifests/exec_environ.pp:256
just confirmed on tools-exec-03, i was about to create this as a duplicate, fortunately Bugzilla is smart :) it's still an issue, but the puppet run continues anyways, so it was possible to install new unrelated packages. the problem remains though on every puppet run The following NEW packages will be installed: openjdk-7-jre-lib The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: openjdk-7-jre-headless
circular dependency! baah openjdk-7-jre-headless Depends: openjdk-7-jre-lib openjdk-7-jre-lib Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless this must be https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641049
i think i could just fix it manually, but didn't want to just mess with it before another proper attempt via a puppet change (try to install -lib instead of -headless?)
Thanks for tracking this down. Assuming this is that bug, it needs to be fixed upstream. IIRC the reason why we chose -headless is that otherwise X is pulled in, but I may be confusing this with something else.
I don't think this got resolved intentionally, but Puppet runs clean at the moment, so closing for now (and hopefully not reopening it any time soon :-)).
