Puppet - controlling installed package version

I have the following:

class compass {
    package { 'ruby-dev':
        ensure => installed,
    }
    package { ["rubygems"]:
        ensure => 'installed'
    }

    package { ['sass']:
        ensure => '3.2.0.alpha.277',
        provider => 'gem',
        require => Package['rubygems']
    }~>
    package { ['compass']:
        ensure => '0.12.2',
        provider => 'gem',
        require => Package['rubygems']
    }
}

When I do gem list after it has run, two versions of sass has been installed:

# gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

chunky_png (1.2.8)
compass (0.12.2)
ffi (1.9.0)
fssm (0.2.10)
listen (1.1.6)
rake (10.1.0)
rb-fsevent (0.9.3)
rb-inotify (0.9.0)
rb-kqueue (0.2.0)
sass (3.3.0.alpha.212, 3.2.0.alpha.277)
zurb-foundation (3.0.6)

In order for my code to run, only 3.2.0.alpha.277 should be installed. It seems that the requirement from the sass package is fulfilled, but that the compass package requires sass "~> 3.1".

How do I make sure that only the 3.2.0.alpha.277 version of sass is installed?

Interestingly I ran this on a pretty much clean slate of Ubuntu 12.04 and it only installed the 277 version.

Also I don't think that the package resource can do this for you. You could handle it in an exec though, like:

exec { 'remove-sass-3.3.0.alpha.212':
  command => 'gem uninstall sass -v=3.3.0.alpha.212',
  unless  => 'test `gem list --local | grep -q 3.3.0.alpha.212; echo $?` -ne 0',
  path    => ['/usr/bin', '/bin'],
}

You could even wrap it up as a defined type:

define remove-gem ($version) {
  exec { "remove-gem-${name}-version-${version}":
    command => "gem uninstall ${name} -v=${version}",
    unless  => "test `gem list --local | grep -q \"${name}.*${version}\"; echo $?` -ne 0",
    path    => ['/usr/bin', '/bin'],
  }
}


remove-gem {'sass':
  version => '3.3.0.alpha.212',
}

that way you can reuse it to remove other particular gem versions.
