    Description

      It would be helpful if the 'ensure' parameter to the Package resrouce could also specify 'at least version *x' and 'no later than version **y*' as well as 'latest version', 'installed' (IE, any version) or a specific version number.

      EG:

          package { 'foo': ensure=>'>1.0' }

      would act as 'latest' if the current package was uninstalled or version before 1.0, but would act as 'installed' otherwise. Similarly, 

          package { 'foo': ensure=>'<4.0' }

      would act as 'installed' if version is <4.0 but would produce an error otherwise.

      This would allow us to set a manifest to avoid packages with known problems in a certain version, but not upgrade unless necessary.
