What you do is to stop processing on the first found file. That's fine,
although your `[ ".$SP" = . ]� check is always true because of the
previous assignment (so a unconditional "break" is sufficient here).
Nevertheless, if multiple files exists, you cannot know what the order
is, so that mandrake-release is found before redhat-release is just a
coincidence. So, the stopping on the first found file is not sufficient
to correctly detect Mandrake.
I've now tried to fix this in the latest OSSP platform snapshot
which is now included in openpkg-20030911-20030911 and higher (see
http://cvs.openpkg.org/chngview?cn=12153 for details). Can you try this
one and give feedback whether it fixes also your problem?
