Issue #7722 has been updated by Ken Barber.

Target version set to 1.6.x

Maybe /etc/issue shouldn't be trusted - but the lsbrelease fact can put us in a 
dependency bind as well. We are getting lots of users who have cut down OS 
installations with no lsb support that find themselves in broken states because 
some of our code does rely on lsb.

Having said that - we already rely on lsb just to pick up on Ubuntu generally:

I wonder if anyone is suffering from bad Ubuntu detection already on minimal 
ubuntu systems ....

Bug #7722: Improve operatingsystemrelease detection for Ubuntu
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7722

Author: Nick Lewis
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.x
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


Right now we look at /etc/issue to determine operatingsystemrelease for Ubuntu, 
which should not be trusted. This is really just equivalent to the value of the 
lsbrelease fact, so we should just use that.
