Bug #13396: Facter not working with recent net-tools
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13396
Author: Stefan Schulte
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Category:
Target version:
Keywords:
Branch:
Affected Facter version:
Facter does not work at all with recent net-tools package on gentoo (and
probably other OS as well)
<pre>
# facter
Error: No such file or directory - /sbin/ifconfig -a
#
</pre>
puppet therefore also does not work anymore
<pre>
# puppet apply -v -e 'notify { "Hello World": }'
Could not run: Could not retrieve facts for host.example.com: No such file or
directory - /sbin/ifconfig -a
</pre>
`sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20111120203157` does work while
`sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20120127084908` (latest in portage tree) does not. I
found the following commit in the net-tools repository that is causing the
error.
Apperently `ifconfig` has moved to `/bin` so facter does not find it anymore.

ifconfig/route: move to /bin
These tools provide quite a bit of good information which is available
to non-root users, so let's move them to /bin for people to use.

Current workaround: Create a symlink from `/sbin/ifconfig` to `/bin/ifconfig`
