That all sounds like the i386 package is already installed. > Any suggestions on the right way to do this? If neither of the things you already tried works, then perhaps you should fall back to "don't worry about it." If you install software only from packages, then, since you're usign the yum provider, installing any other package that needs libstdc++.i386 will cause libstdc++.i386 to be installed too. And installing only from packages is an excellent practice, even if it means you sometimes have to roll your own packages and maintain a local package repository (neither is hard). Personally, I am inclined to lean heavily on my package manager. I think it's more robust and maintainable to have Puppet manage only my direct package requirements.
