Non-Controller nodes reported package dependency issues due to delegating Puppet as the mechanism to update certain packages and excluding them from YUM updates. This fix sets all Non-Controller nodes to use Puppet as the update mechanism. Now packages on non-Controller nodes update without package dependency issues.

one potential fix here is when we build the yum command line, we specify the --exclude parameters with a * on the end of the package name. This will mean that all subpackages will also be excluded. So instead of specifying: --exclude=net-snmp it would be: --exclude=net-snmp* In my testing, this makes the yum update succeed. And we already have an addtional step after the puppet package update to run a plain old yum update again to ensure that all subpackages are updated as well. another option would be to backport this patch to puppet-tripleo: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/26104 In addition to that patch, we'd want to remove the initial yum update (with the excludes) on all the non-controller nodes, and the yum update at the end. This would mean puppet was handling all the package updates, and is probably the better long term solution. for manual testing, this is the command that can be run and will fail on compute nodes: yum update --exclude=ceph --exclude=libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter --exclude=libvirt-daemon-kvm --exclude=net-snmp --exclude=ntp --exclude=openstack-ceilometer-common --exclude=openstack-ceilometer-compute --exclude=openstack-neutron --exclude=openstack-neutron-ml2 --exclude=openstack-neutron-openvswitch --exclude=openstack-nova-common --exclude=openstack-nova-compute --exclude=openvswitch --exclude=pm-utils --exclude=python-greenlet --exclude=python-nova --skip-broken (In reply to James Slagle from comment #3) > another option would be to backport this patch to puppet-tripleo: > > https://review.openstack.org/#/c/26104 this should be: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/261041 > > In addition to that patch, we'd want to remove the initial yum update (with > the excludes) on all the non-controller nodes, and the yum update at the end. > > This would mean puppet was handling all the package updates, and is probably > the better long term solution. concensus is around backporting the puppet patch and no longer running the yum update script on non-controllers. i've proposed the backport to stable/liberty upstream, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/268257/ We need to backport into OPM: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/261041/ And then: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/268388/ See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1299144 for OPM build.

Starting with 7.1, when osp compute nodes yum update, they pass a set of packages via --exclude parameters to yum. This is so that puppet managed packages are not updated by yum and services restarted out of order with unanticipated downtime. One of the packages excluded is net-snmp. However, net-snmp-libs is still attempted to be updated, and they only way that can resolve deps is by installing net-snmp-libs of a different architecture (i686), causing this multilib error from yum: Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.: 1. You have an upgrade for net-snmp-libs which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of net-snmp-libs of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude net-snmp-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem. 2. You have multiple architectures of net-snmp-libs installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work. 3. You have duplicate versions of net-snmp-libs installed already. You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors. ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems).
