saltstack/salt — Issue #569: lastest not working on CentOS 5.4
Author: jhutchins
Created: 2012-01-24 19:19:09+00:00
State: open

When trying to update a package (salt) from our git repo the latest state does not seem to work at all. The state is really simple

```yaml
salt.x86_64 0.9.5-1 installed
salt-minion.x86_64 0.9.5-1 installed
```

but when running the minion in debug mode this is what it has to say about that state.

```shell
