Description of problem: Facter uses 'lspci' for the detection of many hypervisors, as well as dmidecode. The facter package should depend on pciutils to ensure this functionality is complete. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.4
Good catch Dominic. I'll add this to the spec file for the next release. 1.6.5 isn't be too far away. Did you report this upstream as well? If not, I can do that and send a patch for folks using the packages directly from puppetlabs.com or building their own. I looked through the code for other commands that are executed via Facter::Util::Resolution.exec¹ and I think we're in pretty good shape. We don't require redhat-lsb so we're missing lsb_release, but that's intentional. Maybe that's worth revisiting someday. I haven't checked how much redhat-lsb drags in recently. There are commands like arp, dnsdomainname, hostname, and ifconfig from net-tools that are used, but it seems like i would be hard to install a system without that. Thoughts on whether we should be explicitly requiring it are welcome. ¹ I didn't look for all the places where %x{} is used. There are still some of those lurking.

It's not as bad as it was on EL6, and while I know lack of lsb* catches a few people out, I think facter's better off not requiring LSB. > There are commands like arp, dnsdomainname, hostname, and ifconfig from > net-tools that are used, but it seems like i would be hard to install a system > without that.
