No service management when package is absent.

[lermit]

When package manager remove init script (/etc/init.d/mysql),
decommissioning package with following directive

class { 'mysql':
  absent => true,
}

Puppet will output following error :

err: /Stage[main]/Mysql/Service[mysql]: Could not evaluate: Could not
find init script for 'mysql'

So Service directive isn't able to manage service when package is
absent.

This isn't mysql related. I think it's global, it's the expected
behavior ?

Puppet version : 2.7.18

Sorry for late reply, the issue is real even if strangely I found it happening only under some circumstances and not always, and I've not been able to explore exactly all the cases.
However the problem actually applies to all the modules and your solution is the right one.
