Issue #11196 has been updated by Pieter Lexis.

The change was minor ;-). Plus with some git-fu the file can was retrieved 
easily.

* I have re-added the arp fact (code in 
https://github.com/pieterlexis/facter/tree/fix-ec2 I amended my commit).
* I have made a ticket on deprecating the arp fact: #11307

I'm usually not very conservative.. but as this code is also meant for others.. 
you're right.

Bug #11196: EC2 facts do not get created when the arp table contains more than 
1 entry (patch included)
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11196

Keywords: ec2 arp
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 1.6.3


We have an EC2 instance with a QEMU vm on it (don't ask, we cried as well when 
this was the only solution). This means that we have a bridge interface on the 
EC2 instance and that the arp table contains more than 1 entry (on EC2 the only 
entry is the gateway). The code in the arp module does not take this into 
account. Than the ec2 code infers that this isn't an ec2 instance (and doesn't 
create the ec2 facts), but it is. If you would be running a VPN service on EC2, 
this bug could hit you as well (as you have more than 1 interface).

This patch fixes that.
