Bug #11450: Package provider improperly managing and logging purged resources
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11450

Author: Brett Lentz
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Category: logging
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.12
Keywords: package purge
Branch: 


I have a package resource that I want to remove, including all of its 
dependencies. On Red Hat systems, this is done by "yum -y erase <package>". 

The corresponding puppet code is:

package { <package>: ensure => purged }

However, puppet prints this into the logs:

debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm -q abrt 
--nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} 
%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}
'
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/usr/bin/yum -y erase 
abrt'
notice: /Stage[main]/Global/Package[abrt]/ensure: created


The notice is clearly incorrect, as there's nothing that's been created. In 
fact, it repeatedly prints this notice and runs the "yum erase" command long 
after the package has *actually* been removed. 

Both of these behaviors are incorrect.

My expectation is:

1. Logged notices for purged resources should not describe anything as being 
"created".
2. Puppet should only run the "yum erase" command only if the package query 
("rpm -q") returns a valid result.
