Hey guys, I’ve encountered a weird problem with yum module.
Working environment:
OS: CentOS 6.4
Kernel: 2.6.32-358.e16.x86_64
Ansible: 2.0.0 (devel b37be236d9) running from source
I’d like to install Erlang in CentOS 6.4, to do that “erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm” must be installed first, which would add an extra repo entry (named erlang_solutions.repo), through that repo, we can install Erlang.
So, here is what I’m doing in my playbook:
- **name**: install erlang-solutions
**yum**: **name**=http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm **state**=present
this task will be executed without any error, and the “erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm” will be installed on the destination host.
running **yum list installed | grep erlang**, and the result is:
erlang-solutions.noarch 1.0-1 installed
BUT !!! There no extra repo entry added to **/etc/yum.repos.d**, so, I still can’t install Erlang.
Forget to say, that after install “erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm” with rpm command directly on the host, like:
wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh erlang-solutions-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
an extra yum repo entry named erlang_solutions.repo will be added to **/etc/yum.repos.d**.
Thank you, guys
