The fix (submitted by Oracle, if I understand correctly) changes the value Facter reports for the operatingsystem fact for these versions, probably because the "e" in "oel" no longer applies. This change went into Facter 1.6.1. See http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9178 and http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10241
Atlhough the tickets don't show it, discussion elsewhere indicates that PL personnel were aware that the fact change would cause breakage such as you report. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that this was covered in the release notes. Any way around, the bottom line is that the change was intentional. With that being the case, the issue should be directed to the maintainers of affected modules. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
