That seems surprising. Indeed, *very* surprising. If Puppet's catalog
builder sees an 'include' statement naming a class that it cannot find,
then it will error out. As a result, I'm inclined to think that there is
some sort of confusion about which file is where. In particular, I suspect
that you have multiple versions of class bleachbit floating around, and the
one Puppet chooses is not the one you've presented.

I'm not sure off-hand whether I should expect puppet-lint to catch it, but
the class bleachbit::install that you presented is broken. It contains a
resource reference to a non-existent resource,
Cronadd['bleachbit']. I suspect you meant Class['cronadd::bleachbit'] there.
The manifest set you presented would not be accepted by the catalog builder.
I don't understand what the problem is. Running with --debug gives no clues.

And I don't think you've given us enough clues to really nail down an
answer, but if 'puppet apply --debug' truly issues no complaints then it
cannot be operating on the manifest set you presented. That could
certainly create some confusion.
