Package {
require => [ File["sources_list"], Exec["apt_update"],
}
assuming you have a File["sources_list"] set up to manage your
sources, and an Exec["apt_update"] to run apt-get update for you.
This will run every time, but if you want the Exec to be a bit
smarter, you'll need to do some logic there.
I'm quite happy with running apt-get update on each puppet run as we
don't run every 30 minutes.
