When I run puppet resource package --param provider CSWmonit it returns me a package that looks like so and I want to use it to manage CSWmonit

package { 'CSWmonit':

  ensure => '5.5.1,REV=2013.07.09',

  provider => 'sun',

However, when I try to use it I get the following error:

Error: Sun packages must specify a package source

Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[CSWmonit]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Sun packages must specify a package source

In order for this resource to work I have to change the package provider to pkgutil.

package { 'CSWmonit':

  ensure => '5.5.1,REV=2013.07.09',

  provider => 'pkgutil',

Why can't puppet resource package --param provider return the correct provider for managing the package?
