Learn Puppet: Quest Guide, manual install of puppetlabs-apache-0.8.1.tar.gz results in 1 dependency cycle

[Mark Evans]

I'm following through the Learn Puppet Quest guide. 

At "The Puppet Forge" section, task 1 is to install the puppetlabs-apache module.  My VM does not have access to the internet so the "puppet module install puppetlabs-apache" command fails.  the guide says to untar the /usr/src/forge/puppetlabs-apache-0.8.1.tar.gz file.  (That file contained an HTML file with a "301 Moved Permanently" message so I downloaded the file from https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache/releases instead.) 

After un-taring the file, and moving it to /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/apache, I started the PE console and added the lvmguide.  Then I ran the "puppet agent --test" command to cause the agent to apply the puppet configuration.  The result is:

Any ideas as to why the tutorial would result in a dependency cycle?

I googled the problem and found the question asked but not answered.

Any help is appreciated.

Thx,
