I was able to replicate the behavior on my machine, which drove me to do
some research, and it actually turns out to be a known issue and documented
in ticket https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1295. I suppose one
will just have to deal with the confusing messages for now, while knowing
that it is not actually ensuring the package is created. In fact, applying
your Puppet code with the debug flag (truncated output pasted below)
indicates that it's attempting to remove the package that's not actually
there prior to displaying the message indicating that it's "created".
While I'm sure this doesn't *help*, per se, hopefully this helps shine some
light on the topic and provide comfort that it's a known bug! ;-)
