looks like the vmware installer uses a partial python2.x environment, and then calling everything else with this environment. when lsb_release is called, then they try to run a python3 with a partial python2.x library, which is ... interesting.
not seen on other distros, because lsb_release isn't implemented there in python. not seen in precise (at least in the final release), because lsb_release uses python2.x there, and they don't break it as bad as in quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938869 Title: lsb_release crashed with SIGABRT in Py_FatalError() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.2/+bug/938869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
