[Bug 947236] Re: Please provide /etc/os-release

[Adam Conrad]

Marking verification-failed, this upload didn't correctly mark /etc/os-
release as a conffile, which will make future upgrades prompt for
conffile updates, unless we do the preinst deletion trick for the
precise version as well.

To avoid the migration magic and hassle, please re-upload with os-
release added to conffiles.

Title:
  Please provide /etc/os-release

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “base-files” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “base-files” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released
Status in “base-files” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  /etc/os-release is a new upcoming attempt of a standard which is meant
  to supersede /etc/debian_version, and their counterparts in
  Fedora/SUSE: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-
  release.html

  /etc/lsb_release is similar to this, but not standardized. The
  standard interface right now is to call lsb_release which is a Python
  script and thus a very high overhead compared to merely reading a
  file.
