[Bug 999771] Re: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release

[Joel Ebel]

myunity checks the version of ubuntu by taking the last 5 characters of
the second line of lsb-release.  In a default install, this is the
DISTRIB_VERSION, but this is very fragile.  If anything should reorder
the lsb-release file, as often happens in customized installations, this
no longer works.  Actually using the shell to parse the variables in the
file is much more robust.

** Summary changed:

- myunity incorrectly parses lsb-release
+ myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release
