Stephane, the problem is with requirements inside the rpms. If a.rpm
require b.rpm, and b.rpm requires a.rpm, there's no way to install
those with the puppet Package type currently. Puppet will try to
evaluate both Package[a] and Package[b] separately, calling `rpm -i a`
and then `rpm -i b`. Both of those transactions will fail with missing
dependencies. The mentioned patch would evaluate both resources at the
same time using `rpm -i a b`, which would work.
