Hi There,
Puppet's Package type does not deal with multi-arch package states well. For
example if any of the multi-arch packages are removed from the system puppet's
Package type will think the actual package is not installed and thus
continually try to install it. See below i'm using libstdc++5 as an example.
~> dpkg -l | grep libstdc++
ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-25ubuntu1

Workaround, If I apt-get remove --purge the libstdc++5:i386 from the system
then puppet package type will behave as desired again.
