When Adding Approved Packages It’s Good Practice

When using Caching Sites you should consider any supporting packages you might need to also have so that your primary packages can complete install or updates successfully.

3 common packages to include with your Approved Packages list should be:

chocolatey
chocolatey-compatibility.extension
chocolatey-core.extension

:triumph:
If you find that packages are failing to install or update then these may be a cause. Add them to your approved packages list and update the site cache for each location.
Afterwards select the chocolatey-core.extension package’s menu from Approved Packages list and click to install to all agents. You can also push chocolatey-compatibility.extension or allow auto installer to pick it up and install it during install cycle.

You will need chocolatey-core.extension for many of the packages you want to install or maintain from Chocolatey.org so don’t forget to add these to you Approved Packages list.
