Bug #9862: puppet 2.7 cannot run without puppet user on the system
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9862

Author: Jeff McCune
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: settings
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0

Branch: 


# Overview #

Working with Puppet 2.7.5 I notice that `puppet apply` fails to work properly 
if the user puppet is not present on the system.  In previous versions of 
Puppet, `puppet apply` does not require the user puppet to be present.

This is a problem because puppet apply may be responsible for managing the user 
puppet itself.  This presents a chicken and an egg problem if puppet apply is 
not able to properly manage the resources puppet itself needs.

# Steps to reproduce #

With 2.7.5:

<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet apply --modulepath /vagrant/modules 
/vagrant/manifests/vmsetup.pp --noop
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.74 seconds
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/rrd]: Could not evaluate: Could not find group puppet
err: Could not send report: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: Could not 
evaluate: Could not find group puppet
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet --version
2.7.5
root@pe-centos6:~# facter --version
1.6.1
</pre>

# Expected Behavior #

With 2.6.10 it works as expected:

<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet --version
2.6.10
root@pe-centos6:~# facter --version
1.6.1
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet apply --modulepath /vagrant/modules 
/vagrant/manifests/vmsetup.pp --noop
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.67 seconds
root@pe-centos6:~#
</pre>

# Additional Information #

This bug appears to have been introduced in 2.7.0:

<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# facter --version
1.6.1
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet --version
2.7.0
root@pe-centos6:~# puppet apply --modulepath /vagrant/modules 
/vagrant/manifests/vmsetup.pp --noop
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.75 seconds
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/rrd]: Could not evaluate: Could not find group puppet
err: Could not send report: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: Could not 
evaluate: Could not find group puppet
</pre>

Also, I should note this problem exists in the default case.  I have no 
customizations to puppet.conf at all:

<pre>
root@pe-centos6:~# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
cat: /etc/puppet/puppet.conf: No such file or directory
</pre>

# Trace #

Here is the trace when running against 2.7.x (2.7.5-91-g2958b05)
