You need to figure out what's causing the error, so you can understand whether it's something fixable, or an actual bug. Generally, the first error in a Puppet run is the one you need to concern yourself with.

Everything else in the error message is telling you where to find the Puppet code that produced the error.

It's also possible that the user isn't being created in any of the Puppet code, and it should be to ensure idempotents!

It just means Puppet was told something didn't succeed, and perhaps you need to change the order of resources or rethink what Puppet is controlling.
