ruby-augeas package is not present with puppet-agent

[func0der]

Installing puppet 5.5.19 on a DEbian stretch like this:

wget -O puppet5-release-stretch.deb https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet5-release-stretch.deb
dpkg -i puppet5-release-stretch.deb

apt update && apt install -y puppet-agent 
puppet module install camptocamp-augeas --version 1.9.0

default.pp:

include ::augeas
augeas { '/etc/foo':
        provider => augeas,
}

$ puppet apply default.pp 
Warning: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/augeas/data/common.yaml: file does not contain a valid yaml hash
Notice: Compiled catalog for foo.local in environment production in 0.28 seconds
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Augeas[/etc/foo]: Provider augeas is not functional on this host

This seems to be related to this ominous AIO puppet package that you included this piece of code for:

if versioncmp($::puppetversion, '4.0.0') >= 0 {

I can not test it with Puppet 4 anymore, but with Puppet 5 it seems broken.

The missing package in question is ruby-augeas. After that is installed, everything works fine.

How can we solve this?

I'm guessing it's the stretch packages that are broken, as I've never seen this before with AIO packages.
