Problem with facter/puppet on smartos

[Don Jackson]

Trying to get puppet & factor working on SmartOS. Installed first from pkgsrc, then upgraded puppet via gem. 

Puppet itself seems to run OK (but haven't applied a manifest yet...)

Facter fails:

# facter Error: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

# facter --debug Not an EC2 host Error: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

# facter --version 1.7.3 

# puppet --version 3.2.3 

# uname -a SunOS 00-50-45-5f-13-ce 5.11 joyent_20131102T215831Z i86pc i386 i86pc

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've never had luck mingling them. Either use the version from your package manager, or use them installed from gem. They have different assumptions about where things belong on most platforms I've used, so you get an inconsistent experience.
