[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#1089174: facter: Facter should depend on ruby-sys-filesystem

[Jesse Hathaway]

Package: facter
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal

Facter lists sys-filesystem as a development dependency in their
gemspec, but this was evidently done to allow for gem installs with a C
compiler as detailed in d7f954944780791c5a0bc3b1aedc669b5d73281f.
However, without this dependency the mountpoints fact returns no data
and the partitions fact does not return mount data. Puppet's published
packages include sys-filesystem. Given the C compiler problem is not an
issue for Debian's package, I think ruby-sys-filesystem should be a
dependency rather than a recommends.

Thanks for maintaining facter, yours kindly Jesse Hathaway
