salt.modules.zypper

Package support for openSUSE via the zypper package manager

depends:
  • rpm Python module. Install with zypper install rpm-python

Important

If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and it is using a different module (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not available), see here.

salt.modules.zypper.add_lock(packages, **kwargs)

Add a package lock. Specify packages to lock by exact name.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.add_lock <package name>
salt '*' pkg.add_lock <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
salt '*' pkg.add_lock pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

salt.modules.zypper.del_repo(repo)

Delete a repo.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.del_repo alias
salt.modules.zypper.diff(*paths)

Return a formatted diff between current files and original in a package. NOTE: this function includes all files (configuration and not), but does not work on binary content.

Parameters:path -- Full path to the installed file

CLI example:

salt '*' pkg.download httpd
salt '*' pkg.download httpd postfix
salt.modules.zypper.file_dict(*packages)

List the files that belong to a package, grouped by package. Not specifying any packages will return a list of every file on the system's rpm database (not generally recommended).

salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' pkg.file_list
salt.modules.zypper.get_repo(repo, **kwargs)

Display a repo.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.get_repo alias
salt.modules.zypper.info(*names, **kwargs)

Deprecated since version Nitrogen: Use info_available() instead.

Return the information of the named package available for the system.

CLI example:

salt '*' pkg.info <package1>

    Comma-separated package attributes. If no 'attr' is specified, all available attributes returned.

    Valid attributes are:
    version, vendor, release, build_date, build_date_time_t, install_date, install_date_time_t, build_host, group, source_rpm, arch, epoch, size, license, signature, packager, url, summary, description.
  • errors --

    Handle RPM field errors (true|false). By default, various mistakes in the textual fields are simply ignored and omitted from the data. Otherwise a field with a mistake is not returned, instead a 'N/A (bad UTF-8)' (not available, broken) text is returned.

salt.modules.zypper.install(name=None, refresh=False, fromrepo=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, downloadonly=None, version=None, ignore_repo_failure=False, **kwargs)

Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,Carbon: On minions running systemd>=205, systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from the salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd from killing any zypper commands spawned by Salt when the salt-minion service is restarted. (see KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of systemd-run(1) can be suppressed by setting a config option called systemd.scope, with a value of False (no quotes).

Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to force a 'zypper refresh' before package is installed.

name

The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this option can only be used to install packages from a software repository. To install a package file manually, use the "sources" option.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install <package name>
refresh
force a refresh if set to True. If set to False (default) it depends on zypper if a refresh is executed.
fromrepo
Specify a package repository to install from.
downloadonly
Only download the packages, do not install.
version
Can be either a version number, or the combination of a comparison operator (<, >, <=, >=, =) and a version number (ex. '>1.2.3-4'). This parameter is ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

Multiple Package Installation Options:

pkgs

A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as a python list. A specific version number can be specified by using a single-element dict representing the package and its version. As with the version parameter above, comparison operators can be used to target a specific version of a package.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4"}]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "<1.2.3-4"}]'
sources

A list of RPM packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local path to the package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"},{"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'
ignore_repo_failure
Zypper returns error code 106 if one of the repositories are not available for various reasons. In case to set strict check, this parameter needs to be set to True. Default: False.

Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
               'new': '<new-version>'}}
salt.modules.zypper.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)

Return the latest version of the named package available for upgrade or installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.

If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty dict will be returned for that package.

refresh
force a refresh if set to True (default). If set to False it depends on zypper if a refresh is executed or not.

CLI example:

salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
salt.modules.zypper.list_installed_patterns()

{'<package>': {'case_sensitive': '<case_sensitive>',
               'match_type': '<match_type>'
               'type': '<type>'}}

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_locks
salt.modules.zypper.list_patterns(refresh=False)

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.list_products
salt '*' pkg.list_products all=True
salt.modules.zypper.list_repos()
