-From 39382efcf16e3f3b30ce8284ae3aefcf09b1b2d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
-From: Todd Zullinger <tmz@pobox.com>

-Subject: [PATCH] (#19989) Filter virt-what warnings from virtual fact
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Presently, the virt-what command puts errors on stdout, prefixed with
-virt-what:.  This ends up in the virtual fact, which is undesirable.
-
-When a fixed virt-what is released and available for supported systems,
-the 'output.gsub /^virt-what: .*$/' can be removed from
-Facter::Util::Virtual::virt_what().
-
-A virt-what fix was committed upstream¹.
-
-Thanks to Adrien Thebo for help on making this testable.
-
-This also rolls in a follow-up fix to suppress warnings when virt-what
-produces no output:
-
-4a59d36 ((Maint) Don't parse nil Facter::Util::Resolution output)
