I would like to see this bug opened up again. It affects both 12.04 and 12.10. 
It can be easily reproduced by putting Ubuntu in quotes in /etc/lsb-release, 
i.e. DISTRIB_ID="Ubuntu" rather than DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu. Once I changed the 
DISTRIB_ID to Ubuntu (without quotes) the problem went away.
Since other values in /etc/lsb-release accept quotes (DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION), I 
would suggest that the values should be read correctly regardless of whether 
there are quotation marks or not. This would lead to a consistent format in 
/etc/lsb-release.
Thanks.
