I'm snipping the traceback because I generally find python traces to
be very hard to understand, although I'm sure that some pythonistas
like them.
I will hazard a guess that either you don't have an lsb-release file
(see BLFS chapter 12, LSB-Tools-0.5 - the configuration was done in
LFS chapter 9 section 9.1.

Sometimes, rebuilding is necessary. Other times it just delays
finding the problem. I think this is an example of the latter,
Your second failure again mentioned lsb_release.

Quite why pip wants to look at lsb-release is beyond me, but I
suspect it looks for known distros and perhaps applies 'quirks' to
some of them.
What do you have in /etc/lsb-release ?
