I can easily do the patch to ignore symlinks and /etc/lsb-release but I am
not sure of the appropriate way to look for lsb_update command, is
distutils.spawn.find_executable( 'lsb_release' ) ok ?
If you need the patch earlier than begining of next week, you should do it.
Otherwise I can make it.
On Mandriva 2007.1, the command exists if the package "lsb-release" is
installed. I do not know if it is always installed (I selected a checkbox
"LSB" during install, this checkbox is unchecked by default).
The output is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ lsb_release -a

On Fedora 4 (rather old) , the command is in the package "redhat-lsb".

On Fedora 7, the command is in the package "redhat-lsb" and seem to be
installed by default.
