We have this problem on CentOS machines using the yum provider. The logs
reported something to the effect of openssl.x86_64 couldn't be updated
to version N+1 as that conflicted with openssl.i686 version N.  I wish
I had saved the logs at the time so I could share the exact text with
you all.

For a while - when it seemed like there was a new OpenSSL vulnerabilty
every other day - we had the openssl module's "version" parameter set to
"latest" in our hiera config.  When a new openssl version was available,
puppet would attempt and fail to install it each run. We'd manually have
to install the new version - so much for saving time. I'm hoping to find
a better option before the next time we need to update.
