Hello,
Problem happened again today. sources.list hasn't been touched, but
suddenly release detection fails:
# python
Python 2.7.3rc2 (default, Apr 22 2012, 22:30:17)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import lsb_release
>>> lsb_release.get_distro_information()
{'RELEASE': 'testing/unstable', 'OS': 'GNU/Linux', 'ID': 'Debian',
'DESCRIPTION': 'Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable'}
>>>
An apt-get update fixes this:
# sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for nikratio:
[...]
# python
Python 2.7.3rc2 (default, Apr 22 2012, 22:30:17)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import lsb_release
>>> lsb_release.get_distro_information()
{'DESCRIPTION': u'Debian GNU/Linux testing (wheezy)', 'RELEASE':
u'testing', 'CODENAME': 'wheezy', 'OS': 'GNU/Linux', 'ID': 'Debian'}
>>>
Based on previous experiments, it will now work for a while and then
suddenly start failing again.
Best,
-Nikolaus
