Needs Assessment
Description
In facter the is_virtual and other similar facts are very dependent upon the
virt-what
command being available.
Since this commit to puppet-agent
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-agent/commit/a1a06ba3f42419e
virt-what was removed from the puppet-agent package.
I expect it may have been an unintentional consequence to stop these core facts from working out of the box with the puppet-agent package?
Installing the system provided virt-what and everything works again but
this should be a dep or at least documented if that is the way forward.
For reference some history on the subject.
