Alex Harvey has as well by the > looks of the issue in redmine :) To be honest I discovered #9862 several months ago while I was trying to figure out why puppet 2.7 wasn't working on my Solaris 2.6 test host. I didn't know there was an open bug for it and just assumed it was something to do with me being stupid expecting puppet to run on Solaris 2.6. Eventually I decided 'no such group' was a red herring and a different solution to that problem emerged. Still, I did wonder at length why there would be a method 'service_user_available?' but no similar method 'service_group_available?'. I rediscovered it the other day after the same bug apparently was now stopping every host in my development environment from working after upgrading to puppet 3. Being no less stubborn I couldn't bring myself to put a group 'puppet' on all my hosts that otherwise wouldn't do anything. But what are the chances you would be personally trying to figure out the exact same issue out at the exact same time? And having now looked at your solution, I tried to solve it almost exactly the same way too - I also cloned service_user_available to make a service_group_available? - except it didn't work for me because I had no method group.exists? and didn't know what to do. So I threw my hands in the air and wrote that lengthy update to the redmine ticket whereas I now see all I needed to do was put user.rb and group.rb next to each other in a text editor and the last piece of the puzzle would have been obvious! :) (And true, I didn't spot that other issue you did that caused you to add the if ... elsif ... else block.
