Could not find class when running puppet apply with modulepath

Question

Running puppet apply with the modulepath switch fails with Error: Could not find class apt for vagrant.example.com on node vagrant.example.com

Puppet version is 3.7.3 running on Ubuntu 14.04 managed by Vagrant and VirtualBox

This is the command I'm running:

sudo puppet apply --debug --verbose --modulepath '/tmp/vagrant-puppet-3/modules-0' /tmp/vagrant-puppet-3/manifests/default.pp

The output

vagrant@vagrant:~$ sudo puppet apply --debug --verbose --modulepath '/tmp/vagrant-puppet-3/modules-0'  /tmp/vagrant-puppet-3/manifests/default.pp

  include apt
}

The content of /tmp/vagrant-puppet-3/modules-0

Running puppet module list with same modulepath does indeed list the modules (including puppetlabs-apt which I'm refering to), albeit with dependencies warnings.

vagrant@vagrant:~$ puppet module list --debug --verbose --modulepath '/tmp/vagrant-puppet-3/modules-0'
Warning: Missing dependency 'puppetlabs-apt':
  'puppetlabs-postgresql' (v4.1.0) requires 'puppetlabs-apt' (>=1.1.0 <2.0.0)

  'puppetlabs-postgresql' (v4.1.0) requires 'puppetlabs-stdlib' (v4.x)

├── puppetlabs-apt (v1.7.0)
├── puppetlabs-concat (v1.1.2)
├── puppetlabs-postgresql (v4.1.0)
└── puppetlabs-stdlib (v4.5.0)

The strange thing is that puppet module list seems to be finding the modules, but referring to any of the modules in my manifest file fails (same class error if I try to include postgresql). I have a feeling that my manifest file is wrong. Am I missing something obvious here?

rename the module folder puppetlabs-apt to apt

or change the pp code

from

include apt

to

include puppetlabs-apt

Depend on how you defined in apt pp file.
