To the build-czars at puppet labs: could you please include a "*_all.deb" version of facter in your build cycle? It doesn't appear to have been created since v 1.6.18.
My clients are almost exclusively ARM based and can't upgrade without this being available.
Humbly yours, me.

This issue is being tracked at
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/CPR-5. The core of the problem
is that facter is not an all arch package. It depends on dmidecode,
which is not available for all architectures. Because of this, facter
is an arch dependent package and there is no all package for it. There
is more detail in the linked ticket.

In the past I've worked around this by creating a stub version of dmidecode. facter is happy.

FWIW: I repackaged facter 1.7.5 as a "_all" and it installs on my ARM systems. I can upgrade to puppet/common 3.5.1 now.
