facter 1.6.5 regressed and broke the ec2 facts for el5. Patch sent upstream at https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/170
Thanks for the patch Jeremy. I'll get this rolled out in the next day or so. The last facter package added some deps that are not available on all supported architectures, so a package to fix that is needed as well.
