Puppet - Unable to locate package oracle-java8-installer

Question

I am installing Java 8 in a Vagrant hashicorp/precise32 machine using Puppet spantree/java8 module. While installing I am getting below exception:

==> default: Notice: /Stage[main]/Java8/File[/tmp/java.preseed]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}1b89c67b59fa03a9210a7b22a6b51b92'

==> default: E: Unable to locate package oracle-java8-installer
==> default: Warning: /Stage[main]/Java8/File[/etc/profile.d/set_java_home.sh]: Skipping because of failed dependencies

I predict something wrong in line no. - 48 in file init.pp :

  ubuntu: {
      include apt

      apt::ppa { 'ppa:webupd8team/java': }

      package { 'oracle-java8-installer':
        responsefile => '/tmp/java.preseed',
        require      => [
          Apt::Ppa['ppa:webupd8team/java'],
          File['/tmp/java.preseed']
        ],
      }

Any idea how can I fix it?

PS: I am using librarian-puppet to download the spantree/java8 module from Puppet forge .

Was finally able to pass through the error by making sure apt-get update runs after the the new ppa is added - this was my change in java8/manifests/init.pp :

ubuntu: {
  include apt

  apt::ppa { 'ppa:webupd8team/java': }

  exec { 'apt-update':
      command => "/usr/bin/apt-get update",
      require      => [
        Apt::Ppa['ppa:webupd8team/java']
      ],
  }

  package { 'oracle-java8-installer':
    responsefile => '/tmp/java.preseed',
    require      => [
      Exec['apt-update'],
      File['/tmp/java.preseed']
    ],
  }
}
