This seems to have been caused by the (temporary) removal of the rake → 
ruby dependency in rake 12.3.1-2 (see #897279). The build requires 
/usr/bin/ruby to detect the Ruby version, so it wouldn't harm if facter 
would B-D directly on ruby, even if this is not necessary.

I'm lowering severity since this not RC, but will add the dependency 
anyway.

Thanks,
Apollon
