Thanks, Dominic. I get your point about augeas-libs not being published from puppetlabs' repo. I don't think that I've got the whole picture, however. I've got "rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6.1.z" enabled, but it doesn't inlcude the necessary augeas-libs update to support the puppet releases. Is it because I've got rhel 6.1 (I'd have thought that epel would be aligned) or that I'm missing another repo or something that I just don't understand?
