Dreaded. I have found that using the .dot files that puppet --graph option produces sometimes helps see those dreaded dependency cycle issues (and some times it does not). I recommend graphviz for anyone on linux for generating png files for the .dot files (not sure for Windows).
On my setup I have: # If graph is passed the graphviz .dot files are written to # /var/lib/puppet/state/graphs/ and you generate a .png image file # on your machine with graphviz e.g.: # dot -Tpng expanded_relationships.dot -o expanded_relationships.png And that can help. We feel for you, good luck, hopefully you have figured it by now.
