Title:
python2 cannot import lsb_release on yakkety and now xenial
Status in lsb package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in lsb source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
Targeted fix for a regression introduced in the previous SRU; the
'lsb_release' python module is now unavailable in python 2, where it was
available before the SRU.
[Test Case]
1. Install lsb-release from xenial-updates.
2. Run "python -c 'import lsb_release'".
3. Verify that the command fails with an error.
4. Install lsb-release from xenial-proposed.
5. Run "python -c 'import lsb_release'".
6. Verify that the command succeeds (silently).
[Regression potential]
Minimal; this restores the python module to the state it was prior to the
latest SRU. A debdiff of the binary packages should show no other changes.
python2 cannot import lsb_release on yakkety. `locate` shows "lsb-
release" installed several files, but
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
is missing from disk. This was seen on an aws instance provisioned
using the 20160526 daily image.
