Package: lsb-release
Version: 3.2-23
Severity: important
I'm running an up-to-date sid box, and when I run lsb_release -r it tells me:
Codename: lenny
$ cat /etc/debian_version
squeeze/sid
It seems like lsb_release -r looks at my apt/sources.list and sees the first
line:
deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian stable main contrib non-free
and decides that I am running a 'stable' machine, even though it is a
perfectly reasonable configuration to have on a sid box (I need to
occasionally install a packge from stable to do some testing). If I remove this
line, then the Codename shows 'sid'.
There must be a better way to determine this than by picking up the
lowest entry in sources.list?
