The outcome is markedly differnet though, in the case of #452 npm and because of that nodejs is removed again but their Puppet run is not broken. This is not the case in my output above - the module in fact tries to install npm when it shouldn't, failing the run.

Setting npm_package_name to false (both through class parameter and hiera) does not fix this situation either - it tries to do exactly the same, and the run still fails.
