Title: Message Title

Steve Traylen updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-10814 Impossible to systemctl mask non-existing service Change By: Steve Traylen *Puppet Version: 6.15.0* *Puppet Server Version: 6.15.0* *OS Name/Version: CentOS 8* puppet apply the following snippet {noformat} service{'non-existing.service':    ensure => mask, } {noformat} results in.  {noformat} Error: Could not disable foobar non-existing .service: Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[non-existing.service]/enable: change from 'false' to 'mask' failed: Could not disable foobar.service: {noformat}   *Desired Behavior:* A service can be masked irrespective of if the unit exists. {noformat} systemctl mask non-existing.service Unit non-existing.service does not exist, proceeding anyway. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/non-existing.service → /dev/null. {noformat} and this  is desirable since you want to mask things to stop a vendor setting winning later. puppet should proceed with the above mask for a non-existant service.   *Actual Behavior:* The non-existant unit is not masked.
