Good, that gives us something to work with. Some observations, then: 1) The error you see is only indirectly related to yum repositories. The repository definitions themselves are created successfully, as far as I can tell from the log. 2) The error occurs during attempted installation of packages mysql- server and mysql-libs, which may not even be coming from either of the repos listed in your manifest. On RedHat-family systems they would normally come from the "base" or "updates" repo. 3) The error messages specifically indicate a memory allocation problem. I would look into that first. Does the system have very small available memory, and / or is there something running on it that is consuming gobs of RAM? Is the account the puppet agent is running as subject to a memory usage limit? Although I can't completely rule out a problem with your manifests (or with Puppet), this doesn't look like such a problem.
