[Bug 876130] [NEW] Incorrect operatingsystem reported in puppet run

[Jacob Helwig]

Public bug reported:

Facter will report the wrong operatingsystem when queried from a puppet
agent run.

To demonstrate this:
  $ irb
  irb(main):001:0> require 'facter'
  => true
  irb(main):002:0> Facter.version
  => "1.5.9"
  irb(main):003:0> Facter["operatingsystem"].value
  => "Ubuntu"
  irb(main):004:0> Facter.clear
  => nil
  irb(main):005:0> Facter["operatingsystem"].value
  => "Debian"
  irb(main):006:0> 

This has been fixed upstream in Facter 1.6.0+.
  % RUBYLIB=`pwd`/lib irb
  >> require 'facter'
  > true
  >> Facter.version
  > "1.6.0"
  >> Facter["operatingsystem"].value
  > "Ubuntu"
  >> Facter.clear
  > nil
  >> Facter["operatingsystem"].value
  > "Ubuntu"
