Issue #400 has been updated by Ruben Kerkhof.
Affected version set to 0.24.8
This just happened to me as well. yum-protectbase was renamed to
yum-plugin-protectbase.
Adding --whatprovides to the rpm command solved it for me, but I'm not sure if
this covers all the corner cases.

Feature #400: yum software provider doesn't handle virtual packages
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/400
Author: bbaetz -
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: lutter -
Category: yumrepo
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Unknown
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.8
Keywords:
ethereal has been renamed to wireshark. The package has been renamed, but the
old package also provides ethereal:
<pre>
[r...@techteam ~]# rpm -q --provides wireshark
...
ethereal
...
</pre>
<pre>
package { ethereal:
provider => yum,
}
</pre>
installs the package (since yum resolves "yum install ethereal"), but claims
that it wasn't installed:
<pre>

err: //techteam/package=ethereal/ensure: change from absent to present failed:
Could not find package ethereal
</pre>
The yum provider (and the rpm one?) should probably use "rpm -q --whatprovides
<package>" instead?
(The real package name is needed for 'rpm -e', so this may also affect the
purge stuff)
