Comment 5 for bug 1076286

Robie, yes the problem is exactly the one you described.
The puppet daemon does not source /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter for facts and my proposed modification is a workaround to have it properly running.
Also the command "puppet agent --test" does not source the facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter and this is not solved by the modification I proposed.

My proposal is a very quick fix to have the daemon properly running.
I thought that when running the puppet command from commandline the user could define FACTERLIB in his environment somehow.
Of course if you can find better solutions, they're very welcome.
