Hello, i have couple of basic questions about installing using this module. Q1. How does the module get he package name? for example i need to install rng-tools, what is the proper package name that i should provide? Q2. How do i install multiple packages with the same name? for example i have libgcc++ for x86_64 and i686 and i need to install both of them but i can't provide the same package name as it errors out. Any inputs will be helpful. thanks, haim.

This module primarily aims to manage yum repositories, it is not meant as a way to install packages with the yum package manager. To install packages you can for example use the function ensure_packages() from puppetlabs/stlib which is independent of the package manager your OS uses.
