While I do understand your frustration, I don't think it is appropriate to add augeas-tools to facter's Recommends; I simply don't think it's the right place to solve this issue. Having facter Recommend: augeas-tools just to get a fact resolved by default is like Recommend'ing zfs-dkms to get the zfs facts resolved by default. Facter is there just to tell you what your system looks like and we shouldn't configure our systems around facter to get every possible fact supported. That said, I admit that most of the times, facter co-exists with puppet and puppet has already pulled in most of augeas, although not augeas-tools. I think it's possible to include augeas-tools in puppet's Recommends instead, which should do what you want, what do you think? Regards, Apollon
