Issue #11958 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

I get a failure in the package acceptance tests in the suite:

<pre>
  1) Package provider pip should fail when asked to install an invalid package
     Failure/Error: lambda { pkg.provider.install }.should raise_error
       expected Exception but nothing was raised
     # ./spec/integration/provider/package_spec.rb:22
</pre>

Hi,

Puppet generates an obscure error when the pip command is not installed or not 
in PATH.

Error is like : 
[default] err: /Stage[main]/Uwsgi/Package[uwsgi]/ensure: change from absent to 
latest failed: Could not update: undefined method `pip' for 
#<Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPip:0xb72b8998> at 
/tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/nodes-vagrant.pp:17

A more informative error message should be displayed, or even stopping the 
puppet run.

Thanks
