Issue #3707 has been updated by Killboy Powerhed.
I realise this is an off-the-cuff response (very little thought or testing as
well) as I only came across this issue today, but if most people just want the
yum provider to remove dependencies isn't a quick patch better than nothing ? -
this issue seems to have been ongoing for 4+ years in various tickets. Adding
an override 'uninstall' method to the yum provider seems to do what I want it
to do, then I just use 'absent' instead of 'purge' and the puppet run output is
clean.
The fact that an incorrectly validated module could wipe out most of a system
by removing all of a packages dependencies is present but isn't that what dev
environments are for? This way we can get on with our work while someone fixes
the purge issue in the background ;)
Happy to be enlightened if I've missed something major..
thanks

Bug #3707: Yum provider "purge" target runs irrespective of package
installation status
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3707#change-98939
* Author: Oliver Hookins
* Status: Code Insufficient
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen
* Category: package
* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version: 3.2.4
* Keywords: customer
* Branch: https://github.com/mmrobins/puppet/tree/ticket/2.7.x/3707-yum_purging
----------------------------------------
It seems the yum provider will try to purge an absent package:
<pre>
[root@test ~]# cat test.pp
package { logwatch: ensure => purged; }
[root@test ~]# /bin/rpm -q logwatch --nosignature --nodigest --qf '%{NAME}
%|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}'
package logwatch is not installed
[root@test ~]# puppet -d -v test.pp
