Issue #4852 has been updated by Peter Meier.
So the dependency cycle was actually due to the following reasons:
<pre>
class puppet::client::cron {
require cron
#[...]
}
</pre>
What we actually want to do is to require the cron module here. 0.25.x didn't
yet produce a dependency cycle for that. 2.6.1 does, which is also correct and
the fix for that is:
<pre>
class puppet::client::cron {
require ::cron
#[...]
}
</pre>
BUT the error message isn't really helpful, because I have for example no idea
that Whit is the (probably) internal representation of "class dependencies".

err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found dependency cycles in the following
relationships: Whit[Puppet::Client::Cron] => Whit[Puppet::Client::Cron]; try
using the '--graph' option and open the '.dot' files in OmniGraffle or GraphViz
</pre>
However there is no resource called @Whit["Puppet::Client::Cron"]@ in my
manifests nor do I get like that an idea what might create the dependency cycle.
