I think you can block facts on kernel or whatever to prevent them from running on inappropriate OS's.

So its the require 'augeas' line that causes it, we worked around the issue by adding:

begin

... to the top and this to the end:

rescue LoadError
  # Do Nothing if the gem is not present
end

@TJM thanks for the heads up. I can confirm it fixed my issue. Could you be so kind as to create a pull request? Thanks!

[TJM]

That was several customers ago for me. I will look later and see if I can find it in my past projects.

EDIT: Just looking at this, it should probably not be worked around quite like this. There should probably be a platform check of some sort, so that it doesn't fail silently on the target OS :)

ok, let's call it a workaround and not a fix.
