OK. Time for a possibly silly question: 

How are you getting the name of the RPM into the Ruby code ?

Thanks Ygor, gold stars for you and pints of beer, unfortunately this still 
doesn't return the version to the fact. Do i have to pass the resulting string 
to a variable and then pass the variable back ?

Hi, 


Have written what I think is a simple fact to return the version of an 
installed RPM, but when I use the returned variable its blank so perhaps 
someone can point me in the write direction, or somone might know a better way 
to do this. Here is the fact :- 



require 'facter' 
Facter.add('rpmbversion') do 
setcode do 
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("rpm -qia rpm_name | grep Version | sed 
's/Version : //g' |cut -f1-5 -d' '") 
end 
end 




Thanks in Advance :) 

Richie.
