puppet master fresh installation error

puppet master was working fine in my ubuntu 12.04 server. Today I uninstalled it using the following commands and made a fresh install again. After a fresh install, puppet master failed to start.

sudo apt-get remove puppetmaster-common
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove puppetmaster-common
sudo apt-get purge puppetmaster-common
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove puppetmaster-common


sudo apt-get remove puppet
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove puppet
sudo apt-get purge puppet
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove puppet

After a fresh install, it's totally stopped working and I am getting the below errors in log

Could not autoload puppet/type/user: Could not autoload puppet/provider/user/directoryservice: cannot load such file

Could not autoload puppet/provider/user/directoryservice: cannot load such file -- plist

Could not autoload puppet/type/user: Could not autoload puppet/provider/user/directoryservice: cannot load such file

Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections [:main, :master, :ssl, :metrics]

Could not prepare for execution: Could not create resources for managing Puppet's files and directories in sections

Also, there is no puppet.conf file exists in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf location even after fresh install. I tried installing twice and I couldn't see this file getting generated.

Puppet version 3.8.5.

Ubuntu : 12.04 version

Could someone help me to resolve this issue?

Matt, I figured it out finally. I just removed the existing apt repository by manually deleting the entries in

/etc/apt/sources.list.d

and removed puppetlabls-pc1.list, puppet.list, puppet.save, all entries related to puppet and then invoked

sudo apt-get update

And installed puppet master once again without appending any additional apt repos

sudo apt-get -y install puppetmaster

I think I was using wrong apt source. It wasn't generating puppet.conf file at all. May be thats the reason why I was getting weired errors like that
