[Bug 1658909] Re: lsb_release fails in classic (arm64)

[Zygmunt Krynicki]

I see this even without classic. Curiously my traceback is different:

zyga at dragon-1:~$ lsb_release 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 95, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 59, in main
    distinfo = lsb_release.get_distro_information()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 383, in get_distro_information
    distinfo = guess_debian_release()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 281, in guess_debian_release
    get_distro_info(distinfo['ID'])
