[Bug 1170325] Re: Facter 1.6.X not considering Qemu/KVM virtual type

[Robie Basak]

08:45 <infinity> rustx: You might want to talk to rbasak (who is posting patches to the bugs).  This channel isn't for bringing up your pet bugs.
...
08:51 <infinity> rbasak is also in #ubuntu-devel, which would be a better place to discuss bugfixes.

Please don't misrepresent my colleagues. He advised you that you were in
the wrong channel, and pointed you to the right place. At no point did
he tell you that this bug was not worth being looked into. #ubuntu-
release is not an appropriate place to discuss bugs in general. I have
answered you there in the past because I only needed a short reply and
it was easier to do that then make you go to the right place and answer
you there.

As I explained in comments #18 and #19, it turns out that this bug
cannot be fixed without bug 1173265 being fixed first. I am waiting
sponsorship on the other bug, although I have just discussed the details
with a sponsor and I will be doing more to speed things up soon by
working on the SRU as well.

In the meantime, perhaps your expectations are wrong here? I am
endeavouring to fix this bug because I care about the quality of Ubuntu
Server in general. But right now, you appear to be the only one affected
by this bug (see "This bug affects one person" at the top of this bug).
I will still try to get this fixed soon, but I hope you can understand
that with only you affected, this bug has not been a priority, so I had
just left it to work its way up the sponsorship queue so it will get
seen to in time.

  1.6.5-ubuntu1.

  ii facter 1.6.5-1ubuntu1 collect and display facts about the system

  The is_virtual? method is not recognized on last version of KVM,
  because of the output of /proc/cpuinfo, which does not contains “Qemu
  Server” Infos.

  The workaround was added in the next versions of facter, and so I
  would like to provide you this patch, which fixes this bug on Ubuntu
