I came a across this post and like what I see but would off the following
addition to Ian's suggestion so that the expire cache is not executed on
every puppet run.
exec { 'yum-clean-expire-cache':
command => '/usr/bin/yum clean expire-cache',
refreshonly => true,
}
package { ['foobar']:
ensure => present,
require => Exec['yum-clean-expire-cache',
}
