Puppet users - Feb 2014 - yum tries to downgrade a package (ensure => version)

Hi,

   I have found a problem trying to upgrade a rhel6 package (libcgroup), 
the current version installed is:

libcgroup-0.37-7.el6.x86_64

   And I want to install this version:

libcgroup-0.37-7.2.el6_4.x86_64

   So I created a class that states:

                package { 'libcgroup':
                  ensure => '0.37-7.2.el6_4',
                }

  But when I run puppet agent -t :

Error: Could not update: Failed to update to version 0.37-7.2.el6_4, got 
version 0.37-7.el6 instead
Error: /Stage[main]/Checks::Linux::Libcgroup/Package[libcgroup]/ensure: 
change from 0.37-7.el6 to 0.37-7.2.el6_4 failed: Could not update: Failed 
to update to version 0.37-7.2.el6_4, got version 0.37-7.el6 instead


   When I run the debug yum tries to downgrade the package:

Debug: Package[libcgroup](provider=yum): Downgrading package libcgroup from 
version 0.37-7.el6 to 0.37-7.2.el6_4
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade 
libcgroup-0.37-7.2.el6_4'

   And obviously this package exists on the repo:


# yum install libcgroup-0.37-7.2.el6_4

If I set "ensure => latest" in the package definition it works.
