Yes, all the resources require the centralauth class, additionally, I've tried
using tagged install to only do the centralauth setup in a first run, but this
fails as well (e.g. the dependency fails even though I'm not installing those
classes)
The only thing I've been able to do is to temporarily patched my puppet to get
around this in the meantime:

Bug #4867: Puppet raises error when trying to set owner to non-existant user
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4867
Author: Brian Gallew
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: agent
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.1
Keywords:
Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/4867
When I ran 0.25.5, I relied on the puppet client to create the puppet user.
Since I've upgraded to 2.6.1, the puppet user must already exist before the
puppet client will run, otherwise the puppet client bails with an error:
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find user puppet
This seems to be a fairly major regression.
