[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#956301: facter: missing dependency on ruby

[Antonio Terceiro]

Source: facter
Version: 3.11.0-4
Severity: serious
Justification: will break on every ruby interpreter transition

facter does not have any dependency on ruby, so it can't specify which
ruby it works with. In this case, in testing `ruby` is ruby 2.5, but the
facter package from ustable only provides the library for ruby 2.7.

So when trying to migrate ruby-defaults to testing removing ruby2.5 and
making ruby2.7 the default, the autopkgtest of facter fail because it
tries to run `ruby` (2.5) but the package built on unstable does not
provide the library for ruby2.5 anymore.

The failures look like this:
