Package: facter Version: 1.6.4-1 Severity: normal Hello there,
virtualized systems like LXC, OpenVZ or VServ won't be able to make use of dmidecode at all, for them it will be just a useless dependency. Furthermore, in facter, only /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/virtual.rb and /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/util/manufacturer.rb call dmidecode, and in both cases only if running on a physical system or if dmidecode is indeed present. Please consider lowering the Depends on dmidecode to a Recommends or even a Suggests, considering that dmidecode is Priority: Important and will most probably be installed on physical systems by other policies. Cheers, Flo
