Issue #13396 has been updated by Krzysztof Wilczynski.
Hi, [...] > Current workaround: Create a symlink from `/sbin/ifconfig` to `/bin/ifconfig` I don't like work-around problems like that :) Perhaps its the time to include simple "which" in Util in Facter? Quick tackle: https://gist.github.com/2205072 KW ---------------------------------------- Bug #13396: Facter not working with recent net-tools https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13396#change-58427 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: 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. <pre> commit 36b541c9f3efe55c5871674ee926be8b20339497 Author: Mike Frysinger <[email protected]> Date: Fri Dec 2 16:19:08 2011 -0500 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.
