Yum Repo doesn't stick to zabbix_version

[tux-o-matic]

Even though "zabbix_version" is set to "3.2", the latest version of this module (5.0.0) still updates to the Yumrepo to 3.4.

It's misleading to have a "zabbix_version" param but to only use it for setting the Yum repo then install the package with an "ensure" value coming from "zabbix::agent::zabbix_package_state".

@tux-o-matic Have you manage to control upgrade of zabbix-agent using zabbix_package_state => 'latest' as stated in https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/zabbix/5.0.0/readme#upgrade I get unclear error even that I have the 4.2 EL6/7 Repos in place

Error: Could not get latest version: undefined method []' for nil:NilClass Error: /Stage[main]/Zabbix::Agent/Package[zabbix-agent]/ensure: change from 3.2.11-1.el6 to latest failed: Could not get latest version: undefined method []' for nil:NilClass

If I run yum install zabbix-agent -y I can upgrade without problems. Thanks.

@miksonx , that sounds like a Puppet problem (not the Zabbix module) parsing the output of the Yum provider. Even with manual upgrade working for you, I'd check the output of this to compare:

yum list --showduplicates zabbix-agent

I think a PR will be needed to fix the way agent/repo version are used in the module. Nothing happened since 2017 and I'm still not satisfied with the way this module controls the Zabbix version to install.

Hi @tux-o-matic It's strange that this only happens on EL6. (I didn't verify on EL7 before posting, verified now and works on some EL7) Anyway on EL6 this is the output
