[chef] Re: Re: Re: Problem While Installing Linux Package with Chef

[Michael Glenney < >]

Don't know if this will help but if you're talking about Oracle Enterprise Linux it's just Redhat repackaged (we run a few thousand OEL hosts here).  One of our guys added this line to our bootstrap for OEL to trick OHAI and it solved a bunch of issues for us:

/bin/sed -i "s/Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server/Redhat Linux/g" /etc/enterprise-release

I asked him "why not /etc/redhat-release" and his response was:

"Chef uses /usr/local/bin/lsb-release which is looking at enterprise-release first"

So, take it with a grain of salt but might be worth testing in your environment and may help you overcome issues until OEL is added as a supported distro.

It's on Oracle Linux 6.1

My recipe Code Looks like this:

=====================

scope = self

packages = value_for_platform(

    ["centos","redhat","fedora"] =>

        {"default" => ["gcc", "gcc-c++", "openssl-devel", "pcre-devel", "zlib-devel"]},

    "default" => ["gcc", "gcc-c++", "openssl-devel", "pcre-devel", "zlib-devel"]

  )

packages.each do |dev_pkg|

  package dev_pkg

end

Here's the Debug Output:

Post your recipe code + debug output from Chef.
