Hi! The Puppet packaging from Puppet Inc is a bit complicated. They build their puppet product as a gem, the gem has a few dependencies listed in the gemspec. However, when Puppet Inc builds an rpm/deb package, they add more dependencies. One of them is the resource API. This is missing in the gentoo package. To reproduce: ``` root@hypervisor01 ~ # mkdir -p /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules root@hypervisor01 ~ # puppet module install --target-dir /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules choria/choria Notice: Preparing to install into /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules ...

Arch Linux we ship the resource API as a dedicated package and Puppet depends on it. Other distributions "vendor" the resource_api into their puppet package. I prefer it as an own package because other software, like bolt, also requires it. I'm packaging Puppet for Arch Linux and I'm involved the the Puppet community. Please let me know if you've any questions or if the bug report lacks some data.
