Comment 2 for bug 885998

I can confirm that rolling back to facter_1.5.6-2ubuntu2 resolves the issue on 10.04 LTS.

I'm using puppet 2.6.1-0ubuntu2 from the lucid-backports repo.

In addition, I see the following traceback using facter_1.5.6-2ubuntu2.2 when running `facter --debug`:

Note the calls to ec2.rb; I would look first at the changes implemented in this branch:
