Package: lsb-release Version: 3.2-23 Hi.
I'm also affected by this bug, I spent an hour trying to understand why openjdk-6 didn't compile (it thought to be on lenny, so it searched for wrong paths). I've had a look at the distribution detection algorithm. Right now, lsb_release sorts by priority and then returns the one with the highest priority. If there are more than one with the highest priority, it returns one of them, randomly (well, that that is put at the highest place by sort(), without any knowledge of their meaning). Maybe this could be improved: when there is more than one distribution with maximum priority, it can return the most recent one (this make sens, because it's the same algorithm used by APT when it falls back to comparing versions). I'll try to write a patch tonight or tomorrow. Thanks, Giovanni. -- Giovanni Mascellani <[email protected]> Pisa, Italy Web: http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~mascellani Jabber: [email protected] / [email protected]
