The simplest method is to use the 'before' metaparameter in each of the package
resources that must be synced before you want the file created. E.g.
package { [ "a", "b", "c" ]:
ensure => absent,
before => File["/some/file"],
}
file { "/some/file":
ensure => file,
content => "Where did all the packages go?",
}
