Not removing directory; use 'force' to override

[chrisongthb]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 6.23.0
• Ruby: ruby 2.5.9p229 (2021-04-05 revision 67939) [x86_64-linux]
• Distribution: Ubuntu 20.04
• Module version: v6.0.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

The directory /etc/logrotate.d/hourly has to be present. It was ceated by this module.

class { '::logrotate':
  manage_cron_daily  => true,
  ensure_cron_daily  => 'absent',
  manage_cron_hourly => true,
  ensure_cron_hourly => 'absent',
  create_base_rules  => false,
  purge_configdir    => false,
}

What are you seeing

At every Puppet Agent run it is logged, that Puppet won't remove the directory /etc/logrotate.d/hourly.

What behaviour did you expect instead

Puppet should remove the directory.

I'm seeing this in RedHat 9 now as well, puppet 7.24.0, module version 7.0.1, presumably as a result of disabling cron in favor of the timer in the most recent update.
