[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#978500: facter: package deploys ruby code but no gem

[Gabriel Filion]

Package: facter
Version: 3.14.12-1+b2
Severity: normal

Hello,

The "facter" package currently does not ship the .gemspec file that gets
generated during build. This means that facter is not visible as an installed
system-wide gem.

The impact of this is that other packages that depend on the "facter" gem,
will require a hack in order to remove facter from the gemspec dependencies.
Also, gems installed manually may end up installing a second copy of facter on
the system.
