      Fixed the regression introduced by https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/7424 after which puppet was unable to parse files correctly, resulting in errors like: Could not prefetch mailalias provider 'aliases': Could not parse line "mailer-daemon: postmaster" (file: /etc/aliases, line: 12)

    Description

      The new version (v6.7.0) of the puppet-agent has introduced a regression that has broken our MTA (Postfix), based on the camptocamp-postfix module.
       
      Steps to reproduce on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
      ```
      wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet6-release-bionic.deb
      dpkg -i puppet6-release-bionic.deb
      apt update;apt install -y puppet-agent
      puppet module install camptocamp-postfix --version 1.8.0
      puppet apply -e 'include ::postfix'
      ```
      Output: Error: Could not prefetch mailalias provider 'aliases': Could not parse line "postmaster:    root" (file: /etc/aliases, line: 3)
      Error: Failed to apply catalog: Could not parse line "postmaster:    root" (file: /etc/aliases, line: 3)
