Public bug reported:
On a new raring install I have added puppet (which brings in facter) but
puppet won't start:
# service puppet restart
* Restarting puppet agent
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load
such file -- facter (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet.rb:9:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'

from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/command_line.rb:60:in
`execute'
from /usr/bin/puppet:4:in `<main>'
Looking at facter, it is apparent that it is only available under
ruby1.8:
% dpkg-query -L facter | grep -c ruby/1.8
83
% dpkg-query -L facter | grep -c ruby/1.9
0
However, /usr/bin/puppet is set to use ruby-1.9.1. Manually changing it
to use ruby1.8 allows puppet to start.
Additionally, puppet (<3.x) is known to only run on ruby <1.9.x.
