Error while enabling the official puppet lab collection repository

Question

I'm trying to enable the official puppet lab collection repository with this command:

sudo rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

And I ended up with this error, what do I do?

Retrieving http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

Answer 1

Hey @Alia, try executing these commands and let me know if it works:

[root@ip-10-****/]# rpm -qa | grep puppetlabs-release
puppetlabs-release-6-12.noarch
[root@ip-10-****/]# rpm -e puppetlabs-release-6-12.noarch

Thanks, @Nandita for the quick response and surprisingly this worked. Can you please tell why was I getting that error?

Seems like you have puppet 3 and you're executing commands for puppet 4.
