Puppet users - Jan 2012 - SLES11: facter without arguments produces Error: uninitialized constant Facter::IPAddress

Hi, I run into problems with the ipaddress fact using the latest
Facter gem (1.6.4, 1.6.5) on SLES11. The versions and gems I use work
perfectly fine on SLES10 SP3.

The problem: running "facter" without arguments results in an error,
even though the erroring fact "ipaddress" is ok.

test:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1
test:~ # ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux]
test:~ # gem --version
1.3.5
test:~ # puppet --version
2.7.9
test:~ # facter --version
1.6.5
test:~ # facter kernel
Linux
test:~ # facter ipaddress
xx.xx.xxx.xxx (ip address is ok)
test:~ # facter
The interpreter parameter to ''setcode'' is deprecated and will
be
removed in a future version.
Error: uninitialized constant Facter::IPAddress

This smells like you have a second copy of facter or some other facts
somewhere in your RUBYLIB, as the latest version no longer uses
Facter::IPAddress. Are you sure you haven''t got an RPM or local copy
installed somewhere else?

Try running facter --trace as well so we can see the output. The paths
might give a clue as to where its traversing on the filesystem.

Ah, thanks Ken for the input. To my surprise, I found out that SLES11
has facter-1.5.2 and puppet 0.24.8 rpms installed, so after removing
them, everything works as expected.
