Hi,
Everything is in the title: I'm running unstable, "lsb_release -a"
reports:
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0-updates (etch)
Release: 4.0-updates
Codename: etch
I'm listing this as important since other packages rely on
lsb_release to
list lenny instead (e.g., it seems, software-properties-gtk).
I believe this is correct behavior, since you apparently have
stable-proposed-updates in your sources.list; hybrids of distributions
are currently* reported as the earlier, not the later, version. If
you are running testing, you probably want testing-security in your
sources.list instead of stable-proposed-updates.
I am adding some code to dump out the data that lsb_release uses for
its release detection into bug reports starting in lsb-release 3.2-16.
Right, I would then make it a wishlist bug that you document how
lsb_release determines the version in the manpage. I'm setting
priority and title for this purpose. Of course, feel free to close if
you feel your heuristics are sufficiently documented in the
additional output you mention.
Best regards, Thibaut.
