James,
No, that didn't work for me. When I put the default Package{} in the
base node that required the class yum, puppet complained about cyclic
object dependancies.
Also, I do need to replace all the repo's since we are pointing
everything to our own repos and not using the public ones. The
kickstart process (with help from cobbler) puts a default repo in
/etc/yum.repos.d, which is just enough to get puppet and any
dependancies installed. When puppet comes up, it removes this default
repo and puts it's own in /etc/yum.repos.d.
There's actually other modules that MUST be installed first, after
yum. If ldap is only partialled installed, everything goes to hell in
a handbasket. Even a groupadd excited by yum will just hang, so ldap
needs to go in right after yum, and before anything else.
