Public bug reported: Running Puppet on Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid:
$ lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 15.04 $ apt-cache policy puppet-common puppet-common: Installed: 3.7.2-1ubuntu2 Using the bird package as an example: $ dpkg -L bird | vgrep service unit files /lib/systemd/system/bird.service /lib/systemd/system/bird6.service /etc/init.d/bird6 /etc/init.d/bird /etc/init/bird.conf /etc/init/bird6.conf Puppet appears to choose the debian provider for the bird service, over the systemd provider: $ sudo puppet resource --debug --param provider --param enable service bird Debug: Runtime environment: puppet_version=3.7.2, ruby_version=2.1.2, run_mode=user, default_encoding=UTF-8 ...

Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' service { 'bird': ensure => 'stopped', enable => 'true', provider => 'debian', } This means that while `ensure => running/stopped` works: $ sudo puppet resource --debug --param provider service bird ensure=stopped Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird stop' Notice: /Service[bird]/ensure: ensure changed 'running' to 'stopped' Debug: Finishing transaction 3255100 Debug: Storing state Debug: Stored state in 0.13 seconds Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' service { 'bird': ensure => 'stopped', provider => 'debian', } The service `enabled => true/false` state does not: $ sudo puppet resource --debug --param provider service bird enable=false Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d bird disable' Notice: /Service[bird]/enable: enable changed 'true' to 'false' Debug: Finishing transaction 23676980 Debug: Storing state Debug: Stored state in 0.12 seconds Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' service { 'bird': ensure => 'stopped', enable => 'false', provider => 'debian', } $ sudo puppet resource --debug --param provider service bird enable=true Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f bird remove' Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d bird defaults' Notice: /Service[bird]/enable: enable changed 'false' to 'true' Debug: Finishing transaction 12984740 Debug: Storing state Debug: Stored state in 0.14 seconds Debug: Executing '/etc/init.d/bird status' service { 'bird': ensure => 'stopped', enable => 'true', provider => 'debian', } $ ls /etc/rc?.d/*bird* /etc/rc0.d/K01bird /etc/rc1.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc3.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc4.d/S02bird /etc/rc6.d/K01bird /etc/rc0.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc2.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc3.d/S02bird /etc/rc5.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc6.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc1.d/K01bird /etc/rc2.d/S02bird /etc/rc4.d/K01bird6 /etc/rc5.d/S02bird $ sudo systemctl is-enabled bird disabled I presume that systemd ignores any sysvinit configuration (/etc/rc?.d/*) for services that have a native systemd unit, and is thus blind to any state inspected/changed by puppet's debian service provider. Workaround is to explcitly use the systemd provider for the service shipping a native systemd service unit: $ sudo puppet resource --debug --param provider --param enable service bird provider=systemd enable=true Warning: Setting manifest is deprecated in puppet.conf.
