Comment(by pipedream):
Note that in #11243 we realised lsb_release does not work -- it tries to
import an underlying system python package; but SAGE spkg installs run in
a SAGE python environment and does not know
the path to import lsb_release. That is why we switched to check whether
/etc/issue exists, and then to use that.
It is a good question whether the patch to use -lcrypt will break other
Linux distros? Then a standard uname check for Linux could be used and the
patch applied on all Linux patched while SAGE still uses python 2.6.
What is the timeline for SAGE to get to python 2.7?
