** Description changed: + = SRU = + + All Python system scripts should use -Es to ignore $PYTHON* envars and + to ignore the user's site directory. This is a general recommendation. + + [Test Case] + $ PYTHONHOME=/does/not/exist lsb_release + -> crashes without the fix + -> works correctly with the fix + + [Regression Potential] + None expected. + = Details = During the installation process of either VMware Player major version 4 or 5 you will receive a crash report regarding lsb-release as VMware ships a version of python 2 with the installer and the installation process calls lsb-release which uses python 3. I'm just login, and the message to some application crashed pops up.
