Bug 613680 – dev-ruby/facter-3.6.2 : facter.rb does not find libfacter

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 611018
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alan Hodgson 2017-03-23 20:24:01 UTC]

While updating my puppet infrastructure to 4.x, I ran into https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611018.

This actually appears to be a bug in facter (in both 3.6.1 and 3.6.2, at least).

Line 30 of facter.rb needs an additional ../ added to find the C library.

Before change:

irb(main):002:0> load '/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/facter.rb'
LoadError: libfacter was not found. Please make sure it was installed to the expected location.
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/facter.rb:42:in `rescue in <module:Facter>'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/facter.rb:29:in `<module:Facter>'
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/facter.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
        from (irb):2:in `load'
        from (irb):2
        from /usr/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
irb(main):003:0>

After change:

irb(main):001:0> load '/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/facter.rb'
=> true
irb(main):002:0>

(it's unclear to me whether this is a dupe or ...)

[Comment 2 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2017-04-08 18:10:27 UTC]

This should be fixed in either 3.6.2-r1 or 3.6.3.
