Thanks Cedric. 1) According to the comment in the code, the script writer evidently wanted to log information about the distro. I presume this was done to help the TeamViewer folks in their troubleshooting. 2) O.K. Understood. Thanks. The reason for my question was that there are a few posts above that say the bug should now be closed. But this workaround merely avoids lsb_release. It doesn't fix the crash in lsb_release. That's why I was confused. I'm not familiar with the Ubuntu protocol for managing bugs but I hope at some point the root cause would be addressed.
Thanks for responding.
