Use the onlyif parameter of the exec type:

exec { "touch /home/ciao:"
     cwd => "/home",
     path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin",
     onlyif => "/usr/bin/apt-get -q -q update"
}

Note: the onlyif parameter only works this way with the
"exec" type (works a bit differently for the augeas type)
The unless parameter only works with exec at this point.
