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

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

If an SRU is still required, please follow the procedure outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
- update the bug description as per template in above page
- write an easy to follow test case ( something like reorder the lsb_release file, reproduce the problem, install package, check it's fixed)
- create a debdiff against precise-proposed with a correct version number and minimal changes & attach it here
- resubscribe ubuntu sponsors

Until above is done, I am unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors.
Good luck.

Title:
  myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc
  /lsb-release

Status in MyUnity:
  New
Status in Precise Backports:
  Fix Released
Status in “myunity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “myunity” source package in Precise:
  New
Status in “myunity” source package in Quantal:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  myunity incorrectly parses the lsb-release file in Main.module.  It makes assumptions about the order of lines.  Since lsb-release is a list of shell variables which can be sourced by other programs, perhaps it would be better to use the shell to parse it, rather than just cat it.  Something more like:
  SHELL "source /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_RELEASE" to Uversion
