Re: yum reinstall

Thanks, Nick.

Yes, this seems to work and converge:
----------------------------------------------------
  commands:
    # remove the dirty "/etc/sudoers" file then explicitly reinstall the RPM
    etc_sudoers_mismatch::
      "/usr/bin/rm -f $(rpm_sudoers_file)";
      "/usr/bin/yum reinstall -y sudo";
----------------------------------------------------

Not ideal, but it seems reasonably clean.

(And, there doesn't seem to be a ".rpmnew" in this case.)

Thanks again.
