I have been using salt for a while, and I've recently had a problem setting up oracle-java8-installer in one of my files.

Here is my init.sls file.

oracle-java8-installer:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - ppa: webupd8team/java
  pkg.installed:
    - require:
    - pkgrepo: oracle-java8-installer
  debconf.set:
    - data:
        'shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1': {'type': 'boolean', 'value': True}
    - require_in:
    - pkg: oracle-java8-installer

Here is the output of the fail.

I'm not sure why it is failing. Java 7 does exist on this system, and I understand that they recommend that it be uninstalled, but that shouldn't be causing the problem.

Any help is appreciated.

  • There's a syntax error in your YAML file; You must indent your `require_in:` items. – Ztyx Sep 08 '15 at 07:00

I don't understand all of what happens in the background, but I will try to explain what is happening.

When you are trying to add the ppa using salt, it tries to access keyserver.ubuntu.com via port 11371. Most corporate firewalls will block strange ports like that. If you are in a corporate network, that is probably the problem.

The way to get around this, is to just use cmd.run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java'

When you use this, it uses the default port 80 that the most common distro's of Linux use.

Most of this information came from here

Sorry this is a bit late but I found this gist to work with Ubuntu 14.04: https://gist.github.com/renoirb/6722890
