Subject: lsb-release: release/codename depend on a successful apt-get update Package: lsb-release Version: 4.1+Debian8 Severity: normal
If an apt-get update fails (i.e. no internet connection), the lsb codename will change to "n/a", which shouldn't happen. Release changes to "testing/unstable". root@wheezy:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
