win_chocolatey || Failed to resolve dependency about choco

[gurupreet18121990]

I have found the work around by specifying the dependency in the ansible playbook.

• name: Installing dependency packages.
  win_chocolatey:
  name: '{{ item }}'
  state: present
  loop:
  • chocolatey-windowsupdate.extension
  • kb2919442
  • kb2919355
  • kb3118401

But again , its like before installing any packge using chocolatey via ansible, I have to confirm the dependency first from the portal , ensure they are added and then run the playbook.

Whereas this was not required earlier . Does anyone aware why the dependency are not getting resolved by the "win_chocolatey" module?

There were updates yesterday to the Chocolatey Community Repository that could have caused this and then some updates later that could have fixed this. Can you:

1. Try again?
2. Try it with Chocolatey CLI directly and see if you get the same results?

The issue may also be down to caching.

hello @pauby

I have tried to re-run the code with the previous logic and its failing for installing "powershell-core" package, but that gives dependency issue. I have checked on the portal and their are update with its dependency.

Did you 'Try it with Chocolatey CLI directly and see if you get the same results'?

hello @pauby
I was able to install PowerShell Core by first installing the missing dependency via the CLI (command-line interface). While this is a workaround, I'm interested in knowing if there are any alternative solutions to avoid the dependency issue altogether.

There were issues with the site last week which could have caused this. These were resolved. Thats why I asked if you could try again to run directly using Chocolatey CLI.

Im unable to reproduce the issue. Without that there isn't anything we can 'fix'.

I am trying with Ansible logic, which is failing with below error. Do they still have issue with their website ?

Ansible logic:

• name: Ensure Chocolatey is on the latest version
  win_chocolatey:
  name: chocolatey
  state: latest
  register: choco_update_result

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
This issue will be closed in 14 days if it continues to be inactive.

We are good to close it.
The issue was with the older version of the Chocolatey in the windows image, I have created a script which removed the chocolately older version and installs the newer version.
