Puppet users - Jan 2009 - autorequire, password, circular dependencies.

dependency question:

I want to require that Package{ruby-shadow} is installed if its not there on
Redhat. This package is in Yum-repo which has some dependency requires for
files owned by root, so I have created the circular reference

user{root:password} -> Package[ruby-shadow] -> Class["yum"] (has
files that
are owned by root) -> User[root]

Are there ways to fix situations where the autorequires don''t allow me
to do
something? Or do I have to work around them?

(for example, if I want to customize the root user, files owned by root
don''t have to wait for this)

thanks,

Dan Bode
