Description
As mentioned in #11658, /etc/issue seems to have changed so now operatingsystemrelease doesn’t seem to work any more on Ubuntu LTS 12.04.
We’ll need to confirm the details, but it looks like this is real.

Ubuntu precise (development branch) \n \l

It fails because facter is looking for a number and doesn’t handle the string (development branch). This won’t be an issue with the final release of Ubuntu 12.04
if release =~ /Ubuntu (\d+.\d+)/

Reproduced this with the development version of precise.

On the release version of precise:
puppet@ubuntu-12-04: /etc/apt$ facter operatingsystemrelease 12.04
Do we really need to fix this since it’s fine on the release version?

It would be good to fix, but the priority isn’t very high.
