The 'yum' provider's use of 'rpm' to ensure a package 'absent' is
intentional and correct. It avoids causing yum to remove unmanaged
packages that depend on the one you try to ensure 'absent', which can be
catastrophic, and which furthermore runs against Puppet's design philosophy
of avoiding side effects on unmanaged resources and resource properties,
In any case, although the yum provider would use the 'yum' command to
ensure package 'mysql-server' to be 'purged', that would still not remove
the listed packages you find remaining on your system, because mysql-server
depends on *them*, not the other way around.
