Thanks again for the contribution! -Adrien ---------------------------------------- Bug #13396: Facter not working with recent net-tools https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13396#change-82499 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Merged - Pending Release Priority: High Assignee: Category: util_ip Target version: 1.6.18 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/386 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. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger &[email protected]> </pre> Current workaround: Create a symlink from `/sbin/ifconfig` to `/bin/ifconfig` -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
