Jira (PUP-8435) When no hosts file exists, puppet fails when trying to manage hosts{} resource.

Title: Message Title

There's more to it, though — Brice points out that the logic in the type pulls code from the provider, which is kind of a no-no:

    newproperty(:target) do

      desc "The file in which to store service information.  Only used by

        those providers that write to disk. On most systems this defaults to `/etc/hosts`."

      defaultto { if @resource.class.defaultprovider.ancestors.include?(Puppet::Provider::ParsedFile)

        @resource.class.defaultprovider.default_target

        else

nil

end

end

It's this .ancestors call that blows up, because there's no default provider, because there is only one provider and it's unsuitable
