Description
Description of Issue
Issue on how salt.sls is implementing an equivalent of yum install 'foo >= 3.0.0-5' through the use of pkg.installed.
I have an rpm version >=3.0.0-5 on a minion. The salt state fails to recognize the existence of a new rpm.
Setup
(Please provide relevant configs and/or SLS files (Be sure to remove sensitive info).)
I tried 2 different versions of salt.sls on my master. As shown in this documentation page
Implementation 1:
'Install foo rpm':
pkg.installed:
- name: foo
- version: '>=3.0.0-5'
- require:
- yum-make-cache
Implementation 2:
'Install foo rpm':
pkg.installed:
- pkgs:
- foo: '>=3.0.0-5'
- require:
- yum-make-cache
Steps to Reproduce Issue
(Include debug logs if possible and relevant.)
To further debug this issue, I ran the salt-call with the debug flag on the minion and noticed this is what salt is implementing in the backend.
[ERROR ] Command '['systemd-run', '--scope', 'yum', '-y', 'install', 'foo->=3.0.0-5']' failed with return code: 1
[ERROR ] stdout: Running scope as unit run-32398.scope.

* redacted-repo-name2: redacted-ip:port2
No package foo->=3.0.0-5 available.
Error: Nothing to do
[ERROR ] retcode: 1
Upon running the yum install foo->=3.0.0-5 as a linux command, it also expectedly fails, which leads me to suspect if that should be changed to yum install 'foo >= 3.0.0-5'.

Research direction
Start with the pkg.installed entry point and the yum backend, comparing the two SLS forms with the debug command shown in the issue. Reproduce the version constraint on CentOS 7 and verify that the resulting package-install behavior matches yum's expected syntax; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
