Dependency cycle when ensuring pgpool is absent

[swesterveld]

Hi,
I ran into the problem that pgpool can't be removed by puppet, by using:

class { pgpool:
    ensure => absent,
}

According to the output from the Puppet agent, this will lead to a circular dependency:

vagrant@pgpool:~$ sudo puppet agent --test

Try the '--graph' option and opening the resulting '.dot' file in OmniGraffle or GraphViz

The graph look likes this:
