Package: lsb-release Version: 3.2-11 Severity: normal I'm investigating update-manager's failure to start and a have determined that it is a side effect if lsb_release -i returning an empty Distributer ID. [ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485558 ] After reading the code I noticed this is due to: /etc/lsb-release containing the following single line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID="" Now the md5sum of that doesn't match b5bfe10d9b02fb4e4a45337d1c4d88ab (the one referenced in lsb-release.postinst / lsb-release.postrm) so the file isn't removed even if I reinstall lsb-release. Now I'm wondering what tampered with that file but find /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -not -cnewer /etc/lsb-release |xargs ls -lt|less is not pointing me anywhere useful. Is it safe to remove /etc/lsb-release ? Shouldn't lsb-release be maintaining it?
