Research direction

Start with the custom pip_version.rb fact and reproduce the failure using Debian 6 with python-pip 0.7.2-1. Check how the fact handles the unsupported --version argument; done means the fact no longer raises the nil error for this package version and reports an appropriate result.

Description

The custom pip_version.rb fact fails on Debian 6 with "Error: Facter: error while resolving custom fact "pip_version": undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass" when python-pip package is installed (version 0.7.2-1). This is because this version on pip doesn't support the --version argument.
