What happens if an update of a required package introduces a new
dependency on httpd.  "yum update" will install httpd to satisfy
the dependency but then you have a conflict in your puppet manifest
between ensuring httpd is absent while ensuring the dependent package
is latest.

(Admittedly I haven't seen this with httpd but something similar
with mysql-server on Fedora).
