myunity checks the version of ubuntu by taking the last 5 characters of the second line of lsb-release. In a default install, this is the DISTRIB_VERSION, but this is very fragile. If anything should reorder the lsb-release file, as often happens in customized installations, this no longer works. Actually using the shell to parse the variables in the file is much more robust.
** Summary changed: - myunity incorrectly parses lsb-release + myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to Precise Backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999771 Title: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc /lsb-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/myunity/+bug/999771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
