I solved the duplicate definition error with virtual resources and realize.
I have a base class base::packages which lists every package I could want as
a virtual resource i.e.
@package{"mod_ssl":
provider => yum,
ensure => present
}
This class is included for every host and when ever I need to make sure a
package is installed I just have to realize it
realize(Package["mod_sll"])
and puppet with let you do that as many times as you want without throwing
any errors.
