Package: lsb-release
Version: 3.0-11
Tags: patch
lsb-release tries to deal with the case where /etc/debian_version is
missing, but doesn't quite manage it.
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/lsb-release/+bug/4912 is a
bug report from an Ubuntu user who thought (incorrectly) that
/etc/debian_version was a leftover from their previous Debian
installation and tried to remove it, only to discover that lsb_release
fell over.
The attached patch fixes this.
Thanks,
