Looks right - see below:

admar at marbase:~/Downloads $ locate lsb_release
/usr/bin/lsb_release
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.pyc
/usr/share/man/man1/lsb_release.1.gz
/usr/share/pyshared/lsb_release.py

admar at marbase:~/Downloads $ lsb_release
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 25, in <module>
    import lsb_release
ImportError: No module named 'lsb_release'

admar at marbase:~/Downloads $ file /usr/bin/lsb_release
/usr/bin/lsb_release: Python script, ASCII text executable

admar at marbase:~/Downloads $ python --version
Python 2.7.12
admar at marbase:~/Downloads $ python3 --version
Python 3.5.2

It appears that the python3 version of lsb_release.py is missing.  I
tried various combinations of apt-get and synaptic to fix this, but
there doesn't seem to be one.


There's also this, which I confess I don't completely follow:

Seems like everything is there, but it doesn't work.
