salt doesn't see installed package in require.pkg of file.managed

state:

install_noip:
  pkg.installed:
    - sources:
        - noip-2.1.9: salt://noip/noip-2.1.9_1-1_armhf.deb

/usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://noip/no-ip2.conf
    - order: last
    - require:
        - pkg: noip-2.1.9

command:

sudo salt xxx state.apply ; sudo salt xxx cmd.run 'wajig list | grep noip'

output:

The package is clearly installed. Just to make sure I also printed info:

sudo salt xxx cmd.run 'wajig show noip-2.1.9'
xxx:
    Package: noip-2.1.9

How to fix the salt state file to reference the package?

Solution

  • Requisites need the state identifier for matching. In this case the state identifier is install_noip.

    Try this one:

    install_noip:
  pkg.installed:
    - sources:
        - noip-2.1.9: salt://noip/noip-2.1.9_1-1_armhf.deb

/usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://noip/no-ip2.conf
    - order: last
    - require:
        - pkg: install_noip
