    Description

      Puppet Version: 7.6.1
      Puppet Server Version:
      OS Name/Version: Arch, Manjaro

      Between facter version 3.14.16 and 4.1.1 the operatingsystem fact change value for Archlinux and Manjarolinux systems. I will paste below the old, and new versions, and a patch I applied that resolved my issue.

       
      $ facter --version
      3.14.16
       
      $ facter operatingsystem

      manjaro
      $ facter --version
      4.1.1
       
      $ facter operatingsystem
      Manjaro

      Actual Behavior:

      Fails to provide pacman support with new values.
