Bug #23056: Package resource not utilizing uninstall_options
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23056

* Author: Eric Rinker

* Target version: 3.3.2
* Affected Puppet version: 3.2.4
* Keywords: package uninstall_options
* Branch: 
----------------------------------------
I need to remove the mysql-libs package without removing its dependancies, 
which would be the following CLI command:

rpm -e mysql-libs --nodeps --allmatches

Inside my manifests, I have the following code:

package { 'mysql-libs':
  ensure            => 'absent',
  uninstall_options => [ '--allmatches', '--nodeps' ],
} 

It fails with the following error:

Error: Execution of '/bin/rpm -e mysql-libs-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64' returned 1: 
error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.16()(64bit) is needed by (installed) 
postfix-2:2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64
        libmysqlclient.so.16(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit) is needed by (installed) 
postfix-2:2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64
        mysql-libs is needed by (installed) postfix-2:2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64

Error: /Package[mysql-libs]/ensure: change from 5.1.69-1.el6_4 to absent 
failed: Execution of '/bin/rpm -e mysql-libs-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64' returned 1: 
error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.16()(64bit) is needed by (installed) 
postfix-2:2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64
        libmysqlclient.so.16(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit) is needed by (installed)

        mysql-libs is needed by (installed) postfix-2:2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64

If I change ensure => 'purged', it removes the package and dependencies. Again, 
ignoring my uninstall_options setting. 

My systems are CentOS 6.4, running puppetlabs compiled 
puppet-3.2.4-1.el6.noarch RPMs.
