I experienced the same problem.  I guess this is because OpenSolaris 
isn''t properly supported by facter yet?

The previous version worked alright, but after adding the 
operatingsystemrelease fact on Solaris (#1555 on redmine) it broke on 
OpenSolaris.  This is because the /etc/release file (where this fact 
gets it''s value from) is formated differently on Solaris 10 than it is 
on OpenSolaris.

I tried to fix this a while ago, and I accidentally started a thread on 
opensolaris-discuss [1], where I was told that using /etc/release in 
scripts is generally a bad idea because it may change without a notice.  
There is also some confusion as to what operatingsystemrelease should be 
set to on Solaris.   I''d  probably go for uname -r, which yields 5.10
on
Solaris and 5.11 on OpenSolaris.  But then it''s the same as the 
kernelversion so not very useful...  Another option would be to use the 
bi-weekly build numbers on OpenSolaris (e.g. snv_99).  I''d love to hear
some opinions on what this should be set to.

Cheers,


Andrew.

Seems to me that on Solaris the "kernelrelease" fact is currently  
wrong.  It should be the output of uname -v ("Generic_137137-09" on  
one of my Solaris 10 systems).  uname -r is the OS release, but uname - 
v is the kernel release/version.

OpenSolaris release model is pretty confusing at this point. I''d think
using the build number as OSRelease at this point is reasonable as
that''s how they refer the OS release to. At the least, facter should
be forgiving on what it gets from the /etc/release, which is failing
with very bizarre error message listed below hidden in the logs.

I agree -- that''s clearly a Facter bug.  Has anyone filed it yet?  We  
actually should be putting out a new Facter release, since I think  
we''ve got quite a few commits in already, so it''d be great if
this can
get fixed in time for the next release.
