I have the same issue. Is there any update, lifeless?

[Jerry Zhao (zhaoxinyu)]

gem install puppetlabs_spec_helper
gem install puppet-lint

It works now on my local machine.

Make sure packages referenced here are installed:

[Jerry Zhao (zhaoxinyu)]

install the prerequisites before 'rake lint'

It's nice that you identified a way to fix it, but that doesn't fix the bug or make it not a bug: it's not documented, and it's not automated. The only reason it works in the test environment is that the test environment is itself puppet managed so has all the deps.
