I actually had a similar issue when first running cobbler (from a Debian
system). Cobbler attempts to determine the operating system version and
has some logic for various distributions. On my debian system, it checks
/etc/debian_version. Unfortunately, not every version uses a floating
point representation (i.e. 4.0). Some use words or have multiple dots.
IMHO cobbler should be modified to accomodate such situations. To do my
development last summer, I had to clobber this line and put in dummy
constants:
return (make, float(version), rest)
in utils.py os_release(). I don't know exactly where this version
information is used or why it's a float. How hard would it be to make
this a string? If it's not too involved, I may find time (this weekend)
to do it myself.
