Public bug reported:
I have recently noticed (though I believe that during the upgrade from Ubuntu
GNOME 15.10 to 16.04 I spotted the message when it got to the point of updating
the '/etc/lsb-release' file) that sometimes
during an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' operation or similar that dpkg outputs this
warning:
dpkg: warning: version '/etc/lsb-release' has bad syntax: version
number does not start with a digit
The contents of my 'lsb-release' file is:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04 LTS"
So I assume that this is a dpkg bug as this was the standard file and I
don't see any problems in it (I have also compared it to the one on
14.04 and it is in the same format).
