Issue #2543 has been updated by Paul Nasrat.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information
Assigned to set to Paul Nasrat

I think a more compatible way would be to use inet as the family (this should 
work across ifconfig on all supported platforms AFAIK).

It should be able to write a test for this, can you supply the full ifconfig -a 
output on the box you're having issues with.

Bug #2543: Error messages with IPv6-enabled interfaces.
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2543

Author: Maciej BliziƄski
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Paul Nasrat
Category: library
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Keywords: 


<pre>
cabbage ~ # facter --puppet 
no such file to load -- ldap
ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: bge0:1: no such interface
ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: bge0:1: no such interface

ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: bge0:1: no such interface
ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: bge0:1: no such interface
</pre>

A workaround would be to skip the IPv6 interface names:
