    Description

      The package

      virt-what-1.22-1.el9.x86_64

      just landed in CentOS 9 . This upgrade changes virt-what's output from

      # virt-what 
      kvm
      

      to

      # virt-what
      redhat
      kvm
      

      and now

      # facter virtual
      redhat
      

      The change in virt-what looks to be intentional:

      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2074476

      http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=commitdiff;h=b64df398779db07d008781c96685878795bcfd67

      My feeling is that given kvm is still in the output the fact should still be reported as kvm for this case and the redhat label be ignored.

      (Just to add virt-what is no longer in the AIO package at all)
