Expected behavior update would be working
Versions Report 3007.0
Additional context In debug logs I see folloging line:
[DEBUG ] Current version (['1.0.8922-1']) did not match desired version specification (salt://common/pkg1_1.0.9457-1.deb), adding to installation targets
It seems, that all_pkgs in aptpkg.py does contain the path an not the package name
=> pkg1 will not be added to the to_unhold array so it wont be "unholded" before the install is triggered.
I see 2 possible approaches to fix this:
- extend targeted_names with the keys of the
sourcesdict so this package gets addedto_unhold - pass
--allow-change-held-packages(introduced in 1.1 as successor for the--force-yesparam) to apt - e.g. by usingupdate_holdswhich is documented as working for apt, yum and zypper but seems to only be implemented for yum.
The second approach has the charme, that the implementation around to_unhold might be completely be skipped by making this param "responsible" for allowing updates.
