I get the dependency cycle error when create_admin is true.

[sbrowne-godaddy]

On an existing 4.4 mongo cluster with a replica set and authentication on the PRIMARY node, with create_admin => true, I get the dependency cycle error shown below.

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 8.6.0
• Ruby: 3.2.3 (puppetlabs distribution package)
• Distribution: RHEL7, RHEL9
• Module version: v6.0.1 tag

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Against an existing mongo node/cluster with a configured and working 'replset'.

  class { 'mongodb::globals':
    version             => "${package_version}.el${::facts['os']['release']['major']}",
    require             => Profile::Base::Repo[$mongodb_repo],
    manage_package_repo => false,
  }
  class { 'mongodb::server':
    auth             => true,
    verbose          => false,
    replset          => "${db_name}-repl",
    replset_members  => $replset_members,
    keyfile          => '/etc/mongodb-keyfile',
    key              => $replkey,
    create_admin     => true,
    admin_password   => $admin_pass,
    store_creds      => true,
    system_logrotate => 'reopen',
    bind_ip          => [ '0.0.0.0' ],
    require          => Class['mongodb::globals'],
  }
  class { 'mongodb::client':
    require => Class['mongodb::server'],
  }

When run against a node that is not the PRIMARY node, this works fine. When run against a node that is the PRIMARY node, the error seen below.

What are you seeing

Error: Found 1 dependency cycle:
(Mongodb_database[admin] => Mongodb::Db[admin] => Class[Mongodb::Server] => Class[Mongodb::Client] => Package[mongodb_client] => Mongodb_database[admin])\nTry the '--graph' option and opening the resulting '.dot' file in OmniGraffle or GraphViz
Error: Failed to apply catalog: One or more resource dependency cycles detected in graph

What behaviour did you expect instead

I expect the puppet run to complete without errors, not having actually attempted to change anything as the admin database exists, as does the admin user with the provided credentials.

Any additional information you'd like to impart

This issue appeared when migrating our old environment from EL7/Puppet5 to EL9/Puppet8. This module had to be updated in steps; ab148b5 being the intermediate commit where this all worked, followed by v6.0.1, where this error occurs.

It feels related to #746 but figured it would be rude to attach this there.

For now, I'm just setting the create_admin => false as it already exists in a working state.
