Thanks Eric for your soon answer.. BUT, suppose I have a puppet client
which has collectd 4.4.2 already installed and when it gets the new
catalog (to install version 4.7.2), puppet gives an error saying
there's a conflict between collectd 4.7.2 and collectd 4.4.2 and it
does not install the latest version.   So, I tried to remove the old
package and install the newone in the same class but I couldn't
because you can notcreate duplicate resources wutj the same name.


My question is:

How can I remove/purge the old collectd (4.4.2) and install the new
version using package resource?
