autoupgrade requires dependencies to be passed using $package parameter...

[acjohnson]

I'm attempting to update our VMWare Tools OSP RPMs using autoupgrade => true but have found that I have to list all packages including dependencies like this.

Is this how you intended the autoupgrade to work?

    if ($facts['osfamily'] == 'RedHat') and ($facts['os']['release']['major'] == '5') {
      class { '::vmwaretools':
        manage_repository => false,
        autoupgrade       => true,
        tools_version     => $tools_version,
        scsi_timeout      => $scsi_timeout,
        package           => ['vmware-tools-esx-nox',
                              'vmware-tools-esx-kmods',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-pvscsi',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vmci',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vmmemctl',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vmxnet',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vmxnet3',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vsock',
                              'vmware-tools-pvscsi-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vmci-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vmmemctl-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vmxnet-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vmxnet3-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vsock-common']
      }
    }

    if ($facts['osfamily'] == 'RedHat') and ($facts['os']['release']['major'] == '6') {
      class { '::vmwaretools':
        manage_repository => false,
        autoupgrade       => true,
        tools_version     => $tools_version,
        scsi_timeout      => $scsi_timeout,
        package           => ['vmware-tools-esx-nox',
                              'vmware-tools-esx-kmods',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vmci',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vmxnet',
                              'kmod-vmware-tools-vsock',
                              'vmware-tools-vmci-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vmxnet-common',
                              'vmware-tools-vsock-common']
      }
    }
