Public bug reported:
Hi,
askubuntu [1] made me aware of this issue.
What I see is:
root@x:~# apt-cache policy distro-info distro-info-data
distro-info:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.14ubuntu0.1
Version table:
0.18~ubuntu16.04.1 100

The distro-info in backports is this atm:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/distro-info/0.18~ubuntu16.04.1
The problem is that this is non-functional with the `distro-info-data`
in Xenial.
$ apt install distro-info=0.18~ubuntu16.04.1
$ distro-info --lts
ubuntu-distro-info: Header
`version,codename,series,created,release,eol,eol-server,eol-esm' in file
`/usr/share/distro-info/ubuntu.csv' does not match excatly
`version,codename,series,created,release,eol,eol-server'.
For distro-info=0.18~ubuntu16.04.1 to work there should:
- also be a distro-info-data in backports
- the distro-info=0.18~ubuntu16.04.1 probably needs a versioned dependency on
the newer distro-info
