Package: lsb-release Version: 4.1+Debian9 Severity: important A Debian derivative is advised to fork base-files and to update the information there so that it can be properly distinguished from Debian. That's what we did for Kali and yet we have reportbug sending bug reports to Debian: $ reportbug apt [...] Will send report to Debian (per lsb_release).
So I looked at lsb-release's output: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux Kali Linux 1.0 Release: Kali Linux 1.0 Codename: n/a It's just wrong to return "Debian" as distributor ID when we have this: ┏(kali-amd64) x230-buxy:~ ┗(524)$ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux 1.0" NAME="Kali GNU/Linux" ID=kali VERSION="1.0" VERSION_ID="1.0" ID_LIKE=debian ANSI_COLOR="1;31" HOME_URL="http://www.kali.org/"; SUPPORT_URL="http://forums.kali.org/"; BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.kali.org/"; ┏(kali-amd64) x230-buxy:~ ┗(525)$ cat /etc/dpkg/origins/default Vendor: Kali Vendor-URL: http://www.kali.org/ Parent: debian Bugs: http://bugs.kali.org ┏(kali-amd64) x230-buxy:~ ┗(526)$ cat /etc/debian_version Kali Linux 1.0 So please update lsb_release's logic to use: 1/ /etc/lsb-release if it exists (it doesn't usually) 2/ /etc/os-release if it exists 3/ /etc/dpkg/origins/default if none of the above exist 4/ some wild guess based on APT otherwise Please let me know if you need help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
