Puppet users - Sep 2014 - err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found 1 dependency cycle:

Puppet Version : 2.7.25

 So I don't get it at all..

<snip>
err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found 1 dependency cycle:
(Exec[chown_logdir] => Class[Jetty] => User[evolve] =>
Exec[chown_logdir])
Cycle graph written to /var/lib/puppet/state/graphs/cycles.dot.
</snip>

<Cycle graph>
digraph Resource_Cycles {
  label = "Resource Cycles"
"Exec[chown_logdir]" -> "Class[Jetty]" ->
"File[/mnt/jetty-logs]" ->
"File[/opt/jetty/current/logs]" -> "Class[Jetty]"
"Exec[chown_logdir]" -> "Class[Jetty]" ->
"User[evolve]" ->
"Exec[chown_logdir]"

</Cycle graph>

 I get past some other crazy ignorant issues only to be faced with one that 
I find even more miserable..

"err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found 1 dependency cycle:"

  I have tried to break this down to make sense, but I can't make heads or 
tails of it..  The worse part is that it worked fine with an earlier 
version of puppet.. 

 There are a couple of pieces of declarations that I think have something 
to do with it..

<code>

  exec {'remove_original_logs_dir':
command => 'rm -rf /opt/jetty/current/logs',
path => '/bin/',
require => File["$jetty_home/current"],
before => File['/opt/jetty/current/logs'],
}  

  file {'/opt/jetty/current/logs':
ensure => link,
target => '/mnt/jetty-logs',
require => File["$jetty_home/current"],
}

</code>

  If I remove the second of these two, where it creates the synlink, this 
error goes away.  I do however need that symlink to exist..

  Thanx in advance for any help...
