Tim Meusel created an issue   Facter / FACT-2906 Dependency to lsb packages is missing Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2020/12/20 4:56 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Tim Meusel Hi, I installed puppet-agent-7.1.0-1.el7.x86_64 on CentOS 7. puppet facts show os: { "os": { "architecture": "x86_64", "family": "RedHat", "hardware": "x86_64", "name": "CentOS", "release": { "full": "7.9.2009", "major": "7", "minor": "9" }, "selinux": { "config_mode": "enforcing", "config_policy": "targeted", "current_mode": "enforcing", "enabled": true, "enforced": true, "policy_version": "31" } } } the lsb facts are missing because the rpm does not require redhat-lsb-core. With the package isntalled: { "os": { "architecture": "x86_64", "distro": { "codename": "Core", "description": "CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)", "id": "CentOS", "release": { "full": "7.9.2009", "major": "7", "minor": "9" }, "specification": ":core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch" }, "family": "RedHat", "hardware": "x86_64", "name": "CentOS", "release": { "full": "7.9.2009", "major": "7", "minor": "9" }, "selinux": { "config_mode": "enforcing", "config_policy": "targeted", "current_mode": "enforcing", "enabled": true, "enforced": true, "policy_version": "31" } } } facter does not print a warning that facts are missing because a dependency isn't installed. many modules depend on those facts. This issue isn't new since facter 4, it's present on facter 3 as well and probably not only on CentOS. Can you please update your packages to depend on the lsb packages on the platforms you support? Is there a documentation for dependencies like this for people that package facter for other platforms? (Like I do for Arch Linux) Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.5.2#805002-sha1:a66f935) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
