Question about this: Wouldn't the command lsb_release --short --release be useful to get the version (which seems to be what we're after), or can't we rely on the package lsb_release being available at all times? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to Precise Backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999771 Title: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc /lsb-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/myunity/+bug/999771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports

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.

[Bug 999771] Re: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release
Hi, If the package was still present in quantal, this would be a normal upload+backport, instead of an sru. But since it's not in quantal, can the backport already present in precise-backports be updated, please? The bugs fixed are not critical in the sense that they do not break the installation, but they are bad enough to worsen user experience. Fixing the current backport would make it a more usable program for precise users. The three bugs are: 1) myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release 2) myunity depends on no user running unity-2d on the machine, regardless of which user is running it. 3) myunity depends on no user running any command with myunity as part of its command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to Precise Backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999771 Title: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc /lsb-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/myunity/+bug/999771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
[Bug 999771] Re: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release
OK I uploaded and accepted it. I'm not sure about the version number (we don't really have precedent for this), but it should be alright. I'd really appreciate someone backporting these fixes to the precise (release) package. and you could use pgrep (from procps) instead of that ps | grep -v grep stuff ;-). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to Precise Backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999771 Title: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc /lsb-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/myunity/+bug/999771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports

It's not guaranteed to be shell. See bug 214861. I suggest borrowing the lsb_extract shell function from localechooser instead.

[Bug 999771] Re: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release
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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to Precise Backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999771 Title: myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc /lsb-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/myunity/+bug/999771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
