Re: [Puppet Users] How to check if a package exists

Please look at

     ldconfig -N

it will update the links for you.

You could try something like (warning untested)

class foo {
         package { "liblcgdm":
                 notify => Exec[ "ldconfig::update" ],
         }

         include ldconfig::update
}

class ldconfig::update {
         exec { "ldconfig -N":
                 refreshonly => true,
         }
}

Of course, the package manager should set up these
links for you when installing the lib.

The other thing to note: If you are installing a library
without using the package manager you should run

         ldconfig

anyway, in order to update your loader's idea of
what libraries exist, and where they are.
It also creates any missing links.

again, see ldconfig(8)

That not what I actually want. I just simply want: if the package
already installed, create the sym-link otherwise, do nothing. Cheers!!

In that case my suggestion of yesterday should do the trick - 

Have a Exec resource with a command to link the files above, but which
runs only if the file does not already exist. Something along the lines
of the example mentioned here -

No suggestions, anyone?

[Puppet Users] Re: How to check if a package exists

Hi Steven and vagn,

I almost forgot about ldconfig, I had a look now and ldconfig doesn't
appear to be working in this particular case. It's conventional for
the so_name to be the name+major version of the library (although, not
universally done), so ldconfig will create a link like "foo.so.1 ->
foo.so.1.1.1" and "foo.so.1.1 ->  foo.so.1.1.1" but *not* foo.so ->
foo.so.1.1.1, as far as I understand. It should be created manually, I
suppose. Cheers!!
