Wrong package installed with default repo on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Opened this issue · 3 comments
When installing from packages on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with default repo we get nodejs-4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.1
package from Ubuntu repo instead of deb.nodesource.com. The apt-cache policy nodejs
output:
nodejs:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.1
Version table:
4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 500

4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4 500

0.10.46-1nodesource1~xenial1 500

The fix is to set node['nodejs']['repo'] = 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x'
(default repo is https://deb.nodesource.com/node
)
An easy way to correct this is to specify a major version in the attributes/default.rb like default['nodejs']['version'] = '6'
which will get interpolated into the URL and allow installing the intended version of NodeJS.

Adding default repository as this cookbook does in the repo recipe seems to cause this issue. I believe the cookbook is working as designed ( the design may be bad but that's a separate issue.)
