salt.modules.yumpkg¶

Support for YUM/DNF

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.

Note

DNF is fully supported as of version 2015.5.10 and 2015.8.4 (partial support for DNF was initially added in 2015.8.0), and DNF is used automatically in place of YUM in Fedora 22 and newer.

New in version 3003: Support for tdnf on Photon OS.

New in version 3007.0: Support for dnf5` on Fedora 39

class salt.modules.yumpkg.AvailablePackages(*args, **kwargs)¶

salt.modules.yumpkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)¶

This function is an alias of latest_version.

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 string will be returned for that package.

A specific repo can be requested using the fromrepo keyword argument, and the disableexcludes option is also supported.

New in version 2014.7.0: Support for the disableexcludes option

CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name> fromrepo=epel-testing
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name> disableexcludes=main
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.clean_metadata

salt.modules.yumpkg.del_repo(repo, basedir=None, **kwargs)¶

Delete a repo from <basedir> (default basedir: all dirs in reposdir yum option).

If the .repo file in which the repo exists does not contain any other repo configuration, the file itself will be deleted.

Strict parsing of configuration files is the default, this can be disabled using the strict_config keyword argument set to False

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.del_repo myrepo
salt '*' pkg.del_repo myrepo basedir=/path/to/dir strict_config=False
salt '*' pkg.del_repo myrepo basedir=/path/to/dir,/path/to/another/dir

salt.modules.yumpkg.diff(*paths, **kwargs)¶

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
Returns:: Difference string or raises and exception if examined file is binary.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.diff /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/sudoers

Changed in version 2015.5.10,2015.8.4,2016.3.0: Function renamed from pkg.get_locked_pkgs to pkg.list_holds.

List information on locked packages

Note

Requires the appropriate versionlock plugin package to be installed:

New in version 2014.1.0.

Changed in version 2015.5.10,2015.8.4,2016.3.0: Environment groups are now supported. The key names have been renamed, similar to the changes made in pkg.group_info.

Changed in version 3006.2: Support for fromrepo, enablerepo, and disablerepo (as used in pkg.install) has been added.

Lists which of a group's packages are installed and which are not installed

name: The name of the group to check
fromrepo: Restrict yum groupinfo to the specified repo(s). (e.g., yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo='somerepo')

salt.modules.yumpkg.group_info(name, expand=False, ignore_groups=None, **kwargs)¶

New in version 2014.1.0.

Changed in version 2015.5.10,2015.8.4,2016.3.0,3001: The return data has changed. A new key type has been added to distinguish environment groups from package groups. Also, keys for the group name and group ID have been added. The mandatory packages, optional packages, and default packages keys have been renamed to mandatory, optional, and default for accuracy, as environment groups include other groups, and not packages. Finally, this function now properly identifies conditional packages.

Changed in version 3006.2: Support for fromrepo, enablerepo, and disablerepo (as used in pkg.install) has been added.

Lists packages belonging to a certain group

name: Name of the group to query
expandFalse: If the specified group is an environment group, then the group will be expanded and the return data will include package names instead of group names.

New in version 2016.3.0.
ignore_groupsNone: This parameter can be used to pass a list of groups to ignore when expanding subgroups. It is used during recursion in order to prevent expanding the same group multiple times.

New in version 3001.
fromrepo: Restrict yum groupinfo to the specified repo(s). (e.g., yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo='somerepo')

New in version 3006.2.

salt '*' pkg.group_info 'Perl Support' enablerepo=somerepo

salt.modules.yumpkg.group_install(name, skip=(), include=(), **kwargs)¶

New in version 2014.1.0.

Install the passed package group(s). This is basically a wrapper around pkg.install, which performs package group resolution for the user. This function is currently considered experimental, and should be expected to undergo changes.

name

Package group to install. To install more than one group, either use a comma-separated list or pass the value as a python list.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.group_install 'Group 1'
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'Group 1,Group 2'
salt '*' pkg.group_install '["Group 1", "Group 2"]'

skip

Packages that would normally be installed by the package group ("default" packages), which should not be installed. Can be passed either as a comma-separated list or a python list.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='foo,bar'
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='["foo", "bar"]'

include

Packages which are included in a group, which would not normally be installed by a yum groupinstall ("optional" packages). Note that this will not enforce group membership; if you include packages which are not members of the specified groups, they will still be installed. Can be passed either as a comma-separated list or a python list.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' include='foo,bar'
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' include='["foo", "bar"]'

Note

Because this is essentially a wrapper around pkg.install, any argument which can be passed to pkg.install may also be included here, and it will be passed along wholesale.

salt.modules.yumpkg.group_list()¶

New in version 2014.1.0.

Lists all groups known by yum on this system

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.group_list

salt.modules.yumpkg.groupinstall(name, skip=(), include=(), **kwargs)¶

This function is an alias of group_install.

New in version 2014.1.0.

Install the passed package group(s). This is basically a wrapper around pkg.install, which performs package group resolution for the user. This function is currently considered experimental, and should be expected to undergo changes.
name
Package group to install. To install more than one group, either use a comma-separated list or pass the value as a python list.

CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'Group 1'
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'Group 1,Group 2'
salt '*' pkg.group_install '["Group 1", "Group 2"]'
skip
Packages that would normally be installed by the package group ("default" packages), which should not be installed. Can be passed either as a comma-separated list or a python list.

CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='foo,bar'
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='["foo", "bar"]'
include
Packages which are included in a group, which would not normally be installed by a yum groupinstall ("optional" packages). Note that this will not enforce group membership; if you include packages which are not members of the specified groups, they will still be installed. Can be passed either as a comma-separated list or a python list.

CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' include='foo,bar'
salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' include='["foo", "bar"]'
Note

Because this is essentially a wrapper around pkg.install, any argument which can be passed to pkg.install may also be included here, and it will be passed along wholesale.

salt.modules.yumpkg.hold(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, normalize=True, **kwargs)¶

New in version 2014.7.0.

Version-lock packages

Note

Requires the appropriate versionlock plugin package to be installed:

On RHEL 5: yum-versionlock
On RHEL 6 & 7: yum-plugin-versionlock
On Fedora: python-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock

name: The name of the package to be held.

Multiple Package Options:

pkgs: A list of packages to hold. Must be passed as a python list. The name parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

Returns a dict containing the changes.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.hold <package name>
salt '*' pkg.hold pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

salt.modules.yumpkg.info_installed(*names, **kwargs)¶

New in version 2015.8.1.

Return the information of the named package(s), installed on the system.

Parameters:: all_versions -- Include information for all versions of the packages installed on the minion.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1>
salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> all_versions=True

salt.modules.yumpkg.install(name=None, refresh=False, skip_verify=False, pkgs=None, sources=None, downloadonly=False, reinstall=False, normalize=True, update_holds=False, saltenv='base', ignore_epoch=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 yum/dnf 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 clean the yum database 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.

32-bit packages can be installed on 64-bit systems by appending the architecture designation (.i686, .i586, etc.) to the end of the package name.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

refresh

Whether or not to update the yum database before executing.

reinstall

Specifying reinstall=True will use yum reinstall rather than yum install for requested packages that are already installed.

If a version is specified with the requested package, then yum reinstall will only be used if the installed version matches the requested version.

Works with sources when the package header of the source can be matched to the name and version of an installed package.

New in version 2014.7.0.

skip_verify

Skip the GPG verification check (e.g., --nogpgcheck)

downloadonly

Only download the packages, do not install.

version

Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.2.3-4.el5. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

Changed in version 2018.3.0: version can now contain comparison operators (e.g. >1.2.3, <=2.0, etc.)

update_holdsFalse

If True, and this function would update the package version, any packages held using the yum/dnf "versionlock" plugin will be unheld so that they can be updated. Otherwise, if this function attempts to update a held package, the held package(s) will be skipped and an error will be raised.

New in version 2016.11.0.

setopt

A comma-separated or Python list of key=value options. This list will be expanded and --setopt prepended to each in the yum/dnf command that is run.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install foo setopt='obsoletes=0,plugins=0'

New in version 2019.2.0.

Repository Options:

fromrepo: Specify a package repository (or repositories) from which to install. (e.g., yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo='somerepo')
enablerepo (ignored if fromrepo is specified): Specify a disabled package repository (or repositories) to enable. (e.g., yum --enablerepo='somerepo')
disablerepo (ignored if fromrepo is specified): Specify an enabled package repository (or repositories) to disable. (e.g., yum --disablerepo='somerepo')
disableexcludes: Disable exclude from main, for a repo or for everything. (e.g., yum --disableexcludes='main')

New in version 2014.7.0.
ignore_epochFalse: Only used when the version of a package is specified using a comparison operator (e.g. >4.1). If set to True, then the epoch will be ignored when comparing the currently-installed version to the desired version.

New in version 2018.3.0.

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.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4.el5"}]'

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"}]'

normalizeTrue

Normalize the package name by removing the architecture. This is useful for poorly created packages which might include the architecture as an actual part of the name such as kernel modules which match a specific kernel version.

salt -G role:nsd pkg.install gpfs.gplbin-2.6.32-279.31.1.el6.x86_64 normalize=False

New in version 2014.7.0.

split_archTrue

If set to False it prevents package name normalization more strict way than normalize set to False does.

New in version 3006.0.

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 in diff_attr is specified, 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.yumpkg.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 string will be returned for that package.

A specific repo can be requested using the fromrepo keyword argument, and the disableexcludes option is also supported.

New in version 2014.7.0: Support for the disableexcludes option

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name> fromrepo=epel-testing

salt.modules.yumpkg.list_holds(pattern='[\\w+]+(?:[.-][^-]+)*', full=True)¶

Changed in version 2015.5.10,2015.8.4,2016.3.0: Function renamed from pkg.get_locked_pkgs to pkg.list_holds.

List information on locked packages

Note

Requires the appropriate versionlock plugin package to be installed:

On RHEL 5: yum-versionlock
On RHEL 6 & 7: yum-plugin-versionlock
On Fedora: python-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock

patternw+(?:[.-][^-]+)*: Regular expression used to match the package name
fullTrue: Show the full hold definition including version and epoch. Set to False to return just the name of the package(s) being held.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_holds
salt '*' pkg.list_holds full=False

salt.modules.yumpkg.list_installed_patches(**kwargs)¶

New in version 2017.7.0.

List installed advisory patches on the system.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.list_installed_patches

salt.modules.yumpkg.list_patches(refresh=False, **kwargs)¶

New in version 2017.7.0.

List all known advisory patches from available repos.

refresh: force a refresh if set to True. If set to False (default) it depends on yum if a refresh is executed.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.list_patches

salt.modules.yumpkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)¶

List the packages currently installed as a dict. By default, the dict contains versions as a comma separated string:

{'<package_name>': '<version>[,<version>...]'}

versions_as_list:

If set to true, the versions are provided as a list

{'<package_name>': ['<version>', '<version>']}

attr:

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

{'<package_name>': [{'version' : 'version', 'arch' : '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.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs attr=version,arch
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs attr='["version", "arch"]'

salt.modules.yumpkg.list_repo_pkgs(*args, **kwargs)¶

New in version 2014.1.0.

Changed in version 2014.7.0: All available versions of each package are now returned. This required a slight modification to the structure of the return dict. The return data shown below reflects the updated return dict structure. Note that packages which are version-locked using pkg.hold will only show the currently-installed version, as locking a package will make other versions appear unavailable to yum/dnf.

Changed in version 2017.7.0: By default, the versions for each package are no longer organized by repository. To get results organized by repository, use byrepo=True.

Returns all available packages. Optionally, package names (and name globs) can be passed and the results will be filtered to packages matching those names. This is recommended as it speeds up the function considerably.

Warning

Running this function on RHEL/CentOS 6 and earlier will be more resource-intensive, as the version of yum that ships with older RHEL/CentOS has no yum subcommand for listing packages from a repository. Thus, a yum list installed and yum list available are run, which generates a lot of output, which must then be analyzed to determine which package information to include in the return data.

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': ['4.1.2-15.el6_5.2',
             '4.1.2-15.el6_5.1',

salt.modules.yumpkg.list_upgrades(refresh=True, **kwargs)¶

Check whether or not an upgrade is available for all packages

The fromrepo, enablerepo, and disablerepo arguments are supported, as used in pkg states, and the disableexcludes option is also supported.

New in version 2014.7.0: Support for the disableexcludes option

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades

salt.modules.yumpkg.mod_repo(repo, basedir=None, **kwargs)¶

Modify one or more values for a repo. If the repo does not exist, it will be created, so long as the following values are specified:

repo: name by which the yum refers to the repo
name: a human-readable name for the repo
baseurl: the URL for yum to reference
mirrorlist: the URL for yum to reference

Key/Value pairs may also be removed from a repo's configuration by setting a key to a blank value. Bear in mind that a name cannot be deleted, and a baseurl can only be deleted if a mirrorlist is specified (or vice versa).

Strict parsing of configuration files is the default, this can be disabled using the strict_config keyword argument set to False

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.mod_repo reponame enabled=1 gpgcheck=1
salt '*' pkg.mod_repo reponame basedir=/path/to/dir enabled=1 strict_config=False
salt '*' pkg.mod_repo reponame baseurl= mirrorlist=http://host.com/
