RedHat package installs are currently broken about riak-chef-cookbook

[hectcastro]

Can you please provide some details around your environment? (Redhat version, Chef version, method of applying your Chef run (solo, server))

For the cookbook's test suite, including the yum < 3.0 constraint resolves the dependencies (Berkshelf) like this:

"erlang": {
  "locked_version": "1.4.2"
},

. . .

"yum": {
  "locked_version": "2.4.4"
},

[rpunt]

RHEL 6.5, Chef 11.8.2, Chef server.

I've got a couple cookbooks in my base-server role that require Yum v3. Also, I'm not running Berkshelf, so any dependency resolution provided there was not applied. This was just the result of a "knife cookbook site install riak" after the base-server role had already been applied.

I might recommend pinning the Erlang version restrictions in metadata.rb as well.

Here are the available solution constraints on a fresh run:

Error message: Unable to satisfy constraints on package yum due to solution constraint (riak >= 0.0.0).

Would you be able to test the revised constraints in this branch? https://github.com/basho/riak-chef-cookbook/tree/hc-yum-constraint

[rpunt]

It now prompts for the appropriate, downgraded cookbook dependency versions, but I’ve still got local cookbooks that depend on Yum >3. I’ll see what I can do about that, but I’m not sure the rework feasible in my environment.

When run in isolation, this cookbook installs fine, so I think the dependency issues are resolved.

@rpunt Thanks a lot for helping identify and resolve this issue.
