Package: base-files
Version: 5
Severity: important
Tags: sid
r...@frodo:~$ lsb_release -cs
lenny
No, I use unstable. (I guess lsb_release sees the 5.0 in
/etc/debian_version and thus thinks it's on lenny - which arguably
might be a problem of lsb-release, clone as appropriate if you think so).
Can we get a reupload of base-files with it resetting to testing/unstable
directly after the current base-files migrated and next time please
do the testing-unstable->x.y migration via tpu without disrupting sid
(and just doing the change where it belongs - in testing)?
Regards,
Rene

The current base-files in squeeze and sid should not confuse
lsb_release anymore as /etc/debian_version now says squeeze/sid.
Therefore I'm closing this bug.
Next time, please, submit a bug against lsb_release, not base-files.
The changes in /etc/debian_version are quite predictable indeed, and
IMHO lsb_release should be prepared for them in advance.
