** Description changed: update-notifier-common does not depend on lsb-release and both apt_check.py and apt-cdrom-check both utilize lsb_release. The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding update-notifier. This problem was most recently seen with package version 3.192.40.1, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/b26aeaa1e162c894747c195ce1b13a70c981e3eb contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports. If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/. + + -------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + [Impact] + Because update-notifier does not explicit have the `lsb-release` package as a dependency, users may install the package and rely on `apt-cdrom-check` to work, but it will fail, since it runs + the `lsb_release -sr` command on it. + + [Test case] + + To reproduce the issue: + + 1. Launch a xenial container + 2. Install update-notifier on it + 3. Run apt-cache depends update-notifier-common + 4. Verify that lsb-release does not appear + + To verify that the error is fixed: + + 1. Install the new update-notifier from this ppa: + https://launchpad.net/~lamoura/+archive/ubuntu/update-notifier-test-ppa/ + 2. Run apt-cache depends update-notifier-common + 3. Verify that lsb-release will now appear as a dependency + + [Where problems could occur] + + We are only adding a missing dependency to the package. I cannot think + of a problem that this might cause to the users of this package. + + [Discussion] + + We can verify that `apt-cdrom-check` does make use of the `lsb_release` + command. Since we don't have that dependency on the package control + file, errors can appear when users are executing/relying on that script.
