Hi,
thanks for raising the ticket. We're able to reproduce it in #1547

[KoenDierckx]

Thanks, looking forward to the fix. This blocks our upgrade to the latest module version

I was also able to reproduce the problem in an environment or came across it.

I was able to determine that the dependency cycle only occurs if manage_package_repo from the globals is set to false.
If the value is set to true, the dependency cycle does not occur for me and the module works as expected.

I'm experiencing a similar problem, but with listen_address parameter. Only relevant when manage_package_repo is set to false

We are still on 9.2.0 because of this bug. We are using Debian 12 and Puppet 7. Is there any progress?
