Public bug reported:
Some third-party software requires the existence of file /etc/redhat-
release in order to install on Ubuntu and creates it in the pre-install
stage. However, this file is also used by sosreport to identify a Red
Hat system [1]. This causes sosreport to fail as it tries to collect
Red Hat-specific information from a Ubuntu system. Is there a better
way to identify a Red Hat system?
[1]:
===
@classmethod
def check(self):
"""This method checks to see if we are running on RHEL. It returns True
or False."""
return (os.path.isfile('/etc/redhat-release')
and not os.path.isfile('/etc/fedora-release'))
