Sphinx is not installing on Debian 7.2

[sobit]

Getting these errors during the vagrant provision.

As you can see apt-get can't find the packet at the Debian Repo (404 Not Found).
You have to exec an apt-get update before in order to get the list of the latest packages version.

How can I force running apt-get before sphinx install? I have puppetlabs/apt module as well.

Secondly, even after manually running apt-get update I'm getting this error:

Error: Could not start Service[sphinxsearch]: Execution of '/etc/init.d/sphinxsearch start' returned 1: 
Error: /Stage[main]/Sphinx::Service/Service[sphinxsearch]/ensure: change from stopped to running failed: Could not start Service[sphinxsearch]: Execution of '/etc/init.d/sphinxsearch start' returned 1:

You can find more info about apt puppet module here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt

class { 'apt':
always_apt_update => true,
....
}

And what about this error:

Error: Could not start Service[sphinxsearch]: Execution of '/etc/init.d/sphinxsearch start' returned 1: 
Error: /Stage[main]/Sphinx::Service/Service[sphinxsearch]/ensure: change from stopped to running failed: Could not start Service[sphinxsearch]: Execution of '/etc/init.d/sphinxsearch start' returned 1:

Take a look first to the sphinx logs to find out what's happening.

[sobit]

/var/log/sphinxsearch directory is empty in my case.

However, if I run the command /etc/init.d/sphinxsearch start manually, I'm getting this error:

Did you solved the problem ?
I'm gonna close this issue.

[sobit]

I didn't solve that, but I will test today/tomorrow if this issue is still actual or not and let you know. Thanks.
