*Problem*:
I have defined the only 'wordpress' module in Puppetfile for production environment but on doing the 'production environment deployment', r10k is still deploying from the cache. The last remote: entry in r10k.yaml was pointing to a github repository which only had 'role' specified in its Puppetfile and that is what the r10k is still deploying.

Damn! The following was supposed to be changed from
rm -rf /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/*
to
rm -rf /etc/puppet/environments/production
