Puppet users - Nov 2014 - Module Installation - Error: can't convert nil into String

Hello,

I am trying to install the module ppbrown-svcprop on my newly set up puppet 
on Solaris 11 and constantly get the following error:

Error: can't convert nil into String
Error: Try 'puppet help module install' for usage

Googling did point me into the direction of a problem with the modulepath, 
but this seems to not be my problem as it is properly set. I did try to 
install it via the online repo as well as downloading the tar.gz and 
installing it without dependencies. The outcome remains the same.

When trying to install with --debug added, I get the following output:

Notice: Preparing to install into /etc/puppet/modules ...

Error: can't convert nil into String

Does anyone know what might go wrong? Or is there another possibility to 
set puppet up to check svcprops on an agent and adjust them if necessary?

Thank you in advance,
Andre
