Hi Andy,
That looks like the mysql RPM with version 5.0.77-4.el5_5.3 no longer
exists in your Yum repository and it's been replaced by
5.0.77-4.el5_5.4.
If you want fine grained control of your RPMs with Puppet you'll also
need to manage your own Yum repo and make sure you control what goes
in, but more importantly what gets removed. Are you removing old files
from your repo or are you using someone elses Yum mirror? If I look in
my own local copy of a CentOS 5.5 mirror I see both versions:
centos55/updates/x86_64/RPMS/mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.3.x86_64.rpm
centos55/updates/x86_64/RPMS/mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.4.i386.rpm
centos55/updates/x86_64/RPMS/mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.3.i386.rpm
centos55/updates/x86_64/RPMS/mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_5.4.x86_64.rpm
