ensure apt-get update is executed before installing packages

[saz]

If you're using the nodesource repo, nodejs will be installed before apt-get update is run. This will result in the wrong version of nodejs.

Doesn't this depend on the update frequency hash? https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt#class-apt

The mentioned frequency is only for configuring a run of apt-get update on each run (always), daily or weekly. This does not ensure, that apt-get update is executed, if a new source is added. This might happen by coincidence. And I don't see a reason to run an update with every puppet run. But even with the frequency set to always the module might install the wrong nodejs version, which might be fixed on the next run.

Is there any roadmap for a new release? I'm able to stick with the current version from github, but don't want to miss the new release to change it back to a forge version.
