Description

This is on Debian etch. Running the rspec tests in master branch as a regular user produces:

1)
Puppet::DevError in 'Puppet::Type::User should have a default provider inheriting from Puppet::Provider'

This is probably because only usable provider on this platform uses tools which are outside non-root users path. However even if the tools were available, creating the user would fail with insufficient permissions.

Out of curiosity: what makes sure the test user disappears after the test finishes?
