Jergen, I think you're missing the point here - /etc/debian_version is mostly for use by tools and lets them know that they're running on something that looks roughly like Debian. Given how close the Ubuntu infrastructure is to Debian it's still reasonable to assert that and removing the file completely isn't terribly constructive. Until MOTU gets vastly more manpower it's likely that things will remain like that.
As far as the actual text in /etc/debian_version goes, well, that's what this bug is about. Anything needing more detailed information than the fact that it's running on a Debian derivative is going to need to look at the text anyway. -- Tools relying on /etc/debian_version get confused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19353 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
