Software installs on Linux run simultaneously

Fleet version: 4.66

Web browser and operating system: This behavior was observed when installing software on a Linux host

---

💥  Actual behavior

Software installs run simultaneously.

customer-beethoven wants to install multiple software packages at once on their Linux hosts. When they do, one install succeeds and the rest fail because the package manager is busy. customer-beethoven can work around this by building a timeout into the install script.

We think this means that Fleet is trying to install the packages simultaneously.

🧑‍💻  Steps to reproduce

1. Add several Linux custom packages (.deb) to Fleet
2. Enroll an Ubuntu Linux host to Fleet
3. Head to the Host details > Software page and filter by Available for install
4. Click Actions > Install for all software that's available to install
5. See that one install succeeds and all others fail

🛠️ To fix

Software and scripts are in one queue. We expect on to run before the next starts running.

Added requisite tags so this gets moved through triage; as mentioned in Slack, this is absolutely a bug. @mason-buettner if you've repro'd this you can drop that tag.
