Bug Fix

Facter no longer prints a spurious warning when 'linkdown' is present in routing table entries
Description
When there are network links which are configured but down "ip route show" appends "linkdown" to the output of those routes. e.g.:
# ip ro sho
|
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth2
|
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 linkdown
|
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.133
|
192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.1 linkdown
|
This causes facter to print a warning on every puppet agent run, or whenever facter is run separately:
Warning: Facter: Could not process routing table entry: Expected a destination followed
|
by key/value pairs, got '192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src
|
192.168.0.1 linkdown'
|
Warning: Facter: Could not process routing table entry: Expected a destination followed
|
by key/value pairs, got '192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src
|
192.168.2.1 linkdown'
|
Facter should probably cope with such eventualities, possibly by just ignoring lines with "linkdown" in them. Happy to provide a simple patch to do this if that would be the desired behaviour
