I have to disagree.  I am *still* seeing this as of:

facter-1.6.6-1.fc16.i686
puppet-2.6.14-1.fc16.noarch

I'm afraid I'm losing confidence in puppet/facter as a technology if such a 
critical issue hasn't been tackled in 3 years now, especially given the near 
solution I provided early on.  I don't mean to disparage anyone who's worked on 
this issue -- I truly appreciate the efforts -- but I would really expected to 
have a solution shortly after I made comment 12.  I *really* don't want to 
learn ruby too, I've enough on my plate already.  Nor do I really relish the 
idea of abandoning puppet after I've given it this much commitment, but at some 
point I must start considering other options here.

Bug #2211: Facter timeouts reap all subprocesses thus confusing Puppet
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2211#change-58273

Author: John Florian
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Adrien Thebo
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.x
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


It is no longer possible to have puppet install packages via yum/rpm if the 
network interface is not bound to an IP address.  Our use case requires using 
puppet in the non-daemon mode and this is possible for us because the system 
will have all necessary manifests and other necessary files locally.  This 
worked just fine with 0.24.6 on Fedora 10, but began failing upon the upgrade 
to 0.24.8.

See the attachments for failure messages and a code diff that seems to have 
introduced the regression.  If I revert this one change, things work nicely 
once again.  Looks like a very simple fix if it weren't for the ominous looking 
comment in the code. :-)
