What information is supposed > to be encoded in the lsbrelease fact? Is that fact even needed? It describes which of the Linux Standards Base specifications the system conforms to. The format is a colon separated list of strings. With "lsb-core" (and "lsb-security") installed, the value looks like this: core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch: \ core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch: \ core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch: \ security-4.0-amd64:security-4.0-noarch:security-4.1-amd64: \ security-4.1-noarch -- Stig Sandbeck Mathisen
