Can you run puppet agent with the --debug flag? This way you should see the command puppet is executing. I guess puppet uses the yum provider (as your package name indicates a redhat system) and the yum provider does not support "purged" (only absent). There is an open feature request for it http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11450 And the issue about running yum erase multiple times is also on redmine https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2833 -Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
