I have a local Vagrant set-up running on my machine building out a Ubuntu 14.04 box with a LAMP stack. Vagrant kicks off the process to initialise the box and then it kicks into a puppet script to build and configure the box to my requirements.
I've destroyed and re-built this box many times with no issues, however as of yesterday I have started to get an error (see output below) complaining about being unable to get facter facts. Nothing has changed so I'm not sure why this is the case. I have other colleagues who can checkout the same code base and build this box with no issue. Would appreciate some help or direction as to how I can get to the bottom of this.
