--- Begin Message ---Package: email-reminder Version: 0.7.8-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Not sure if this must be reported on email-reminder or lsb-release. When email-reminder has to send an email, it did not succeed and in the log I got: /etc/cron.daily/email-reminder: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 95, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 59, in main distinfo = lsb_release.get_distro_information() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 341, in get_distro_information distinfo = guess_debian_release() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 283, in guess_debian_release rinfo = guess_release_from_apt() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 188, in guess_release_from_apt releases = parse_apt_policy() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 171, in parse_apt_policy close_fds=True).communicate()[0].decode('utf-8') File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 947, in __init__ restore_signals, start_new_session) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 1551, in _execute_child raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'apt-cache' Error: could not mail the reminder out run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/email-reminder exited with return code 255 In a root terminal, I got: # su - email-reminder -s /bin/bash -c /usr/bin/lsb_release No LSB modules are available. # su - email-reminder -s /bin/bash -c `/usr/bin/lsb_release -a` No LSB modules are available.
