lsb_release is broken - Detection of openSUSE product information
Last modified: 2013-10-14 23:51:43 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 lsb_release read the old openSUSE product information from /etc/SuSE-release. The handling of the lsb_release script is unfortunately pretty poor. The new product information is located at /etc/os-release and should be read from there. The information about the distribution is needed by any third party software for an auto detection feature. # lsb_release -a LSB Version: n/a Distributor ID: #/etc/SuSE-releaseisdeprecatedandwillberemovedinthefuture,use/etc/os-releaseinstead Description: # /etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future, use /etc/os-release instead Release: n/a Codename: n/a Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute: lsb_release -a Actual Results: No information about the distribution was displayed. This is pretty bad. Expected Results: All information about the distribution should be displayed.
