Package: facter
Version: 1.5.1-0.1
Severity: important

This is upstream bug http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1291 .

facter domain

will try /bin/domainname before /bin/dnsdomainname. If the NIS domain
name is different from the DNS domain name, this gives undesirable
results. Note in particular that the "fqdn" fact is constructed by
concatenating the "hostname" and "domain" facts; this makes sense if
"domain" is the DNS domain name, but not if it's the NIS domain name.

At least in my environment, the behaviour is a regression from Debian
etch. I find it quite serious because the "fqdn" fact is used to
construct the subject name of SSL certificates used by puppet.

There is a partial fix upstream:
