Issue #22491 has been updated by Kurt Sussman.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Affected Puppet version changed from 3.2.2 to 3.3.0

Verified with Ubuntu Precise amd64, Ruby 1.9.3-p0 and Puppet 3.3.0. Pinned 
package isn't downgraded by puppet run, but 'apt-get upgrade' will downgrade it.

ensure=>latest

----------------------------------------
We have a few packages which have a pin >1000 (forcing downgrades if the 
highest available package has a lower version than the installed one). Of 
those, some are managed by puppet, but ensure=>latest fails for them if the 
package needs to be downgraded.

The apt provider should include --force-yes also when ensure is set to 'latest' 
in our opinion.
