For those who want to reproduce this at home, but do not want to hook up to an external Puppet server:
and the "parsed" provider was used
the "parsed" provider was not used the output of the new, ruby, provider is visible

When the kafo is executed on a system that itself is a client to a Puppet server, plugins that got synced (using pluginsync) from said server into /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/ are picked up instead of the ones in the configured modules dir under certain circumstances. For example, puppetlabs-postgresql changed the postgresql_conf provider from "parsed" to "ruby" in 10.0. If the parsed provider is present in /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/ it gets used, instead of the new ruby one, but the calling code (being from puppetlabs-postgresql 10+) doesn't expect that and fails to properly (yet silently!) configure PostgreSQL.
