Issue #2940 has been updated by Alan Harder.
Oops, yes I did miss the resource name.. and that is an important factor. If
it is a package name that does not exist on the system, the error is ok:
<pre>
err: //Node[<nodename>]/Package[test]/ensure: change from absent to latest
failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /bogus/path -n
test' returned 99: pkgadd: ERROR: attempt to process datastream failed
- open of </bogus/path> failed, errno=2
pkgadd: ERROR: could not process datastream from </bogus/path>
at /etc/opt/csw/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:14
</pre>
But if the package does exist on the system (so it needs to compare the version
number), then it gets the nil:NilClass error. Any other information I can
provide? I updated to today's 0.25.x branch from git and still see this.

Bug #2940: Package resource with ensure=>latest and invalid source gives
"undefined method" error msg
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2940
Author: Alan Harder
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Alan Harder
Category: package
Target version: 0.25.2
Affected version: 0.25.2rc1
Keywords:
Branch:
<pre>
package {
source => '/bogus/path',
ensure => 'latest',
provider => 'sun'
}
</pre>
with something like this the error message I see with current 0.25.x branch
from git looks like this:
@Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not get latest version:
undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass@
Getting an error is correct, as the source is an invalid path, but the
"undefined method" in "nil:NilClass" looks odd.
