Issue #7670 has been updated by Ken Bowley.
The problem appears to be in the way that the operatingsystem fact is determined for Ubuntu. If the lsbdistid is not available (cleared out during the Facter.clear), then it will fall back to finding the /etc/debian_version file and think it is Debian. I found that if I do a 'Facter.loadfacts' followed by a 'Facter.flush', it will pick up the correct value again, but this doesn't help Puppet get the correct facts. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7670: operatingsystem fact incorrect after clear on Ubuntu https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7670 Author: Ken Bowley Status: Accepted Priority: Immediate Assignee: Category: library Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.5.9 Facter returns incorrect facts for "operatingsystem" and "operatingsystemrelease" after Facter.clear is called when running on Ubuntu. $ irb irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):002:0> require 'facter' => true irb(main):003:0> Facter["operatingsystem"].value => "Ubuntu" irb(main):004:0> Facter.clear => nil irb(main):005:0> Facter["operatingsystem"].value => "Debian" This causes puppet to report the wrong operatingsystem, and breaks many manifests on our current deployment. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
