Issue #4852 has been updated by Markus Roberts.

Status changed from Ready for Testing to Ready for Checkin

In answer to Luke's question, IIRC because it didn't work with components and 
you said you didn't care which was used.  We also tried just leaving the 
containers in, but that also had side effects.  Consequently we continued with 
the low-impact path for 2.6.x and are planning on reworking all this for 2.7.x

Having a dependency cycle in my manifests I get the following error message:

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.
