Issue #12722 has been updated by Chip Schweiss.

This problem has been around a LONG time.  It's the same as bug #2833.

I got tired of the noise in the logs so I wrote a define and put it in a global 
context:

    define removepackage {
        exec {
            "removepackage_$name":
                command => "/usr/bin/yum -y erase $name",
                onlyif => "/bin/rpm -ql $name";
        }
    }

Every where I had this:

    Package { 
        some_package: 
        ensure => purged;
    }

I use this instead:
    Removepackage {
        some_package:
    }

Bug #12722: package ensure => purged is too noisy!

<pre>
$packages = [ "one", "two", "three" ]
package { $packages: ensure => "purged", }
</pre>

is too noisy.

The logs are filled with:
<pre>
 /Stage[main]/MODULE/Package[one]/ensure created.
 /Stage[main]/MODULE/Package[two]/ensure created.
 /Stage[main]/MODULE/Package[three]/ensure created.
</pre>
on every run of puppet-agent.
