[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#607165: unblock: facter/1.5.7-2

Hi Mehdi,

Facter will work with either ruby1.8 or ruby1.9, and its associated
libraries, but because ruby1.9 had not settled, we did not include a
potential depdency on 'ruby1.9'. You are right that its a little
strange, and probably removing libopenssl-ruby1.9 from the Depends would
resolve that.

A couple minor issues related to this, the changelog entry:

   * Add versioned dependency for ruby1.8 (Closes: #585867) 

is repeated twice in the upload that I did (oops), and the bug number is
wrong, it should be #545867. These are pretty minor, but I am happy to
fix them in an upload, if you would prefer?
