Puppet users - Mar 2009 - undefined method `controllable?' when manipulating sshd

Apologies if this winds up in the group twice, I''m not positive I
submitted
this the first time around.

I installed puppet on an existing client and am getting this when running
puppetd --test:

err: Could not create sshd: undefined method `controllable?'' for
nil:NilClass
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: undefined method
`controllable?'' for nil:NilClass

Other servers don''t have this message. When I comment out the service
section (below), the puppet client runs just fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how I might track this issue down and
fix it? I tried running the puppetmaster in debug mode and didn''t see
anything odd. Identical OS and puppet installs on other boxes seem to be
working okay. This box used to be my testbed for puppet so I initially
thought

This is my ssh.pp, which is included in my site.pp:

file { "/etc/ssh/sshd_config":
        ensure => "present",
        owner => root,
        group => root,
        mode => 644,
        source => "puppet:///files/global/etc-ssh-sshd_config",
        checksum => "md5",
        backup => true
}

package { openssh-server: ensure => installed }

service { "sshd":
        require => Package[openssh-server],
        subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"],
        ensure => ''running''
}

It looks like something is causing your default service provider not  
to load on that system, and puppet''s autoloader isn''t doing a
good job
of telling you what the problem is.

Can you look at the client logs in more detail? Maybe an error is  
being logged that you''re not noticing because it''s not
initially fatal.
