[tomnowak]

Hi, The latest version 2.2.0 works again on Oracle Linux :) but is broken on Ubuntu now:(

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, osfamily Debian's os.release.major is <14.04> and must be 7 or 8 for Debian and 14 or 16 for Ubuntu.

Thanks for letting us know! Could you please post the output of facter.

I think that's a bug in facter. It is showing os.release.major as 14.04 instead of 14. I'll dig into this more.

[ghoneycutt]

@tomnowak Could you try facter v3.9.3 and see if os.release.major still returns 14.04 ?

Created https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-1794

[tomnowak]

I think that always was like this on Ubuntu:

https://puppet.com/docs/facter/3.9/core_facts.html#operatingsystemmajrelease Caveats: Linux: for Ubuntu, the major release is X.Y (e.g. “10.4”).

[ghoneycutt]

Ugh, that sucks. So if you run 16.10 instead of using the same data as 16.04, it would fail.

[ghoneycutt]

@tomnowak could you post the full output of facter, minus any identifiable info like IP and MAC.

[tomnowak]

Attached are outputs of facter from native and aio puppet versions on Ubuntu 16.04
