Hi.

I encountered a following problem, if I state for example:

package{"aspell-en": ensure => absent, }
package{"aspell":    ensure => absent, }

I get error in logs because of dependencies. It seems that puppet uses
'yum' for installation on CentOS and 'rpm -e' for removal of packages,
so it cannot handle this kind of dependencies:

# rpm -e --test aspell-en
error: Failed dependencies:
        aspell-en is needed by (installed) aspell-0.60.3-7.1.x86_64
# rpm -e --test aspell
error: Failed dependencies:
        aspell >= 12:0.60 is needed by (installed) aspell-en-6.0-2.1.x86_64


Do you have any idea or advice how to solve this kind of problems?

I've searched the list and found:

and consensus is that "RPM circular dependencies have nothing to do with
puppet". OK, but any advice on how to circumvent this issue as elegant
as possible?
