For functional review, you can use a the "vim" virtual package to see if it will install without errors.

                                                    package { 'vim':
    ensure => installed
}

                                                

Without the fix, yum will install "vim" (vim-enhanced is the package that should be installed) and then rpm will fail to query it, causing an error.

With the fix, yum will install "vim" and then rpm will find the vim virtual package, so it should install successfully.

PUP-897

Rpm ( like many similar package systems ) define a system of virtual package, with the tag Provides.
For example, on Mandriva, we have :

    $ rpm -q --provides perl-Term-Size-Any-0.1.0-2mdv2010.1
    perl(Term::Size::Any) = 0.1.0
    perl-Term-Size-Any = 0.1.0-2mdv2010.1

So I can use "urpmi perl(Term::Size::Any)" to install the rpm.
On puppet,...
