[Bug 2053174] Re: update-manager crashed with FileNotFoundError in _execute_child(): [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'lsb_release'

[Brian Murray]

The Traceback in the Error Tracker is slightly different but that's just
because of how it was called.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/do-release-upgrade", line 133, in <module>
    m = MetaReleaseCore(useDevelopmentRelease=options.devel_release,
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py", line 106, in __init__
    self.current_dist_name = get_dist()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/utils.py", line 220, in get_dist
    p = Popen(["lsb_release", "-c", "-s"], stdout=PIPE,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 971, in __init__
    self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 1863, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'lsb_release'
