I'm using Puppet to administrate my servers and one of the things I'm doing is installing Mongrel from the Gem:

package { mongrel: 
  provider => gem,
  ensure => latest,
  require => Package[rubygems],
}

but it seems there's some issue because Puppet keeps trying to install Mongrel in every run. I get tons of these from Puppet:

notice: /Stage[main]/Passenger/Package[mongrel]/ensure: ensure changed '1.1.5' to '1.1.5 ruby java x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32-60'

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Any workarounds?

Looks very much like a bug. I would file a bug report.

A workaround might be : 

ensure => "1.1.5"

ensure => "latest" is always dangerous on anything but test servers.
