I started looking into finishing this patch http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2043, which apparently was never completed or included. I got it working, with one caveat: it doesn't install an RPM if one with the same name but different arch is installed. For example, I can install libacl.i386 specifically, but not if libacl.x86_64 is installed.
I think the issue is in provider/package.rb, in properties(). Earlier, in self.prefetch() the information about all installed packages is grabbed, so in properties() it passes the first if test because some package is installed with that name. So it looks like for this to work properly, it'd be a bit more of an invasive change, which would have to be done in rpm.rb so that all RPM derivatives would pay attention to arch. I'm still new to ruby and puppet, so maybe I'm missing an easier way to do this.
