Bug 33279

puppet3-3.8.7-alt2

I've noticed a situation like this (in a test run by nbr@).

"apt-get install" was attempted, although the package lists were outdated. "apt-get update" was needed beforehand. Perhaps, this problem has a general solution in the Puppet code: to ensure "apt-get update" is run often enough (well, Sisyphus is published only once a day, so not quite often).
