salt.modules.pkgutil¶

Pkgutil support for Solaris

Important

If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and it is using a different module (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not available), see here.

salt.modules.pkgutil.install(name=None, refresh=False, version=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)¶

Install packages using the pkgutil tool.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install <package_name>
salt '*' pkg.install SMClgcc346

Multiple Package Installation Options:

pkgs

A list of packages to install from OpenCSW. Must be passed as a python list.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3"}]'

Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
               'new': '<new-version>'}}

salt.modules.pkgutil.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)¶

Return the latest version of the named package available for upgrade or installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.

If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will be returned for that package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkgutil.latest_version CSWpython
salt '*' pkgutil.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

salt.modules.pkgutil.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)¶

List the packages currently installed as a dict:

{'<package_name>': '<version>'}

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs versions_as_list=True

salt.modules.pkgutil.list_upgrades(refresh=True, **kwargs)¶

List all available package upgrades on this system

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkgutil.list_upgrades

salt.modules.pkgutil.purge(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)¶

salt '*' pkg.purge <package name>
salt '*' pkg.purge <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
salt '*' pkg.purge pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

salt.modules.pkgutil.refresh_db()¶

Updates the pkgutil repo database (pkgutil -U)

CLI Example:

salt.modules.pkgutil.remove(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)¶
