salt.modules.zypperpkg

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.

  • errors --

    Handle RPM field errors. If 'ignore' is chosen, then various mistakes are simply ignored and omitted from the texts or strings. If 'report' is chonen, then a field with a mistake is not returned, instead a 'N/A (broken)' (not available, broken) text is placed.

    Valid attributes are:

    ignore, report

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

Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: 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.

skip_verify

Skip the GPG verification check (e.g., --no-gpg-checks)

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.

resolve_capabilities

If this option is set to True zypper will take capabilities into account. In this case names which are just provided by a package will get installed. Default is False.

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.

diff_attr:

If a list of package attributes is specified, returned value will contain them, eg.:

{'<package>': {
    'old': {
        'version': '<old-version>',
        'arch': '<old-arch>'},

    'new': {
        'version': '<new-version>',
        'arch': '<new-arch>'}}}

Valid attributes are: epoch, version, release, arch, install_date, install_date_time_t.

If all is specified, all valid attributes will be returned.

New in version 2018.3.0.

Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
               'new': '<new-version>'}}

If an attribute list is specified in diff_attr, the dict will also contain any specified attribute, eg.:

{'<package>': {
    'old': {
        'version': '<old-version>',
        'arch': '<old-arch>'},

    'new': {
        'version': '<new-version>',
        'arch': '<new-arch>'}}}
salt.modules.zypperpkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)

This function can be helpful in discovering the version or repo to specify in a pkg.installed state.

The return data will be a dictionary mapping package names to a list of version numbers, ordered from newest to oldest. If byrepo is set to True, then the return dictionary will contain repository names at the top level, and each repository will map packages to lists of version numbers. For example:

# With byrepo=False (default)
{
    'bash': ['4.3-83.3.1',
             '4.3-82.6'],
    'vim': ['7.4.326-12.1']
}
{
    'OSS': {
        'bash': ['4.3-82.6'],

    }
}
