Could not find a default provider for cron error prevents entire puppetd run

Description

While running puppetd on a gentoo box without any cron packages installed, puppetd stops with the following error:

debug: Puppet::Type::Cron::ProviderCrontab: file crontab does not exist
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a default provider for cron

However, all cron references in my configs require->Service[“vixie-cron”] which itself has a require->Package[“vixie-cron”]

I would expect the vixie-cron package to be installed, service started and things to move along.

Or, all other puppet types that do not depend on the failed cron to be applied.

However, puppetd stops dead in its tracks on this error.

If I manually install vixie-cron, and run puppetd again, all works according to plan.
