raise DistroDataOutdated()
distro_info.DistroDataOutdated: Distribution data outdated.
This is really ridiculous. Yes, it's outdated, but the data it has
knows about raring, so there's no need to bail out like that. The
package should only error out in cases where it can't continue. A
traceback is a very poor raw to communicate a need for a package udpate.
