Looking at the provider more closely, it does indeed seem to fall back to rpm for removing packages. However, it does implement a native "purge" function. So setting 'ensure => "purged"' may do the right thing. Then of course, if you want puppet to uninstall using yum but *not* purge, you're currently screwed. The OP may want to consider raising a bug about this. Cheers, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
