    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.
