I have the following resource: package { [ "PackageKit"]: provider => 'yum', ensure => purged, } The first time I run Puppet I get status message I expect, e.g. Notice: /Stage[main]/Xoom/Package[PackageKit]/ensure: ensure changed '0.5.8-21.el6' to 'purged' I then run Puppet again without making any changes to either the host or the Puppet master. I then get: Notice: /Stage[main]/Xoom/Package[PackageKit]/ensure: created This makes it look like Puppet created the PackageKit package, even though I asked for it to be deleted. However, this package wasn't actually installed, e.g. # rpm -qa | fgrep PackageKit # Why would that second message appear? I didn't ask for the package to be created, plus the package wasn't actually created.
