[Bug 310915] Re: global name 'unknown' is not defined
I came across this issue upgrading a Turnkey Linux box running on VMWare
from Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS (Hardy) to 10.04 LTS (Lucid). Use case:
1. Innitially /usr/bin/lsb_release is missing (/etc/lsb-release is not
missing):
# lsb_release
-bash: lsb_release: command not found
2. Follow 'Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers' steps from
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get upgrade
# sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
3. Attempt:
# sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new ubuntu release
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 340, in module
main()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 304, in main
distinfo = get_distro_information()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 267, in get_distro_information
distinfo = guess_debian_release()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 226, in guess_debian_release
rinfo = guess_release_from_apt()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 182, in guess_release_from_apt
version = RELEASE_CODENAME_LOOKUP.get(unknown, rinfo.get('suite',''))
NameError: global name 'unknown' is not defined
lsb_release returned exitcode: 1
current dist not found in meta-release file
No new release found
4. Also attempt:
# lsb_release
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 340, in module
main()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 304, in main
distinfo = get_distro_information()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 267, in get_distro_information
distinfo = guess_debian_release()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 226, in guess_debian_release
rinfo = guess_release_from_apt()
File /usr/bin/lsb_release, line 182, in guess_release_from_apt
version = RELEASE_CODENAME_LOOKUP.get(unknown, rinfo.get('suite',''))
NameError: global name 'unknown' is not defined
5. As in 1st Bug description post above, edit /usr/bin/lsb_release by
adding quotes around 'unknown' in 2 places here:
# Finally, find the highest numeric value
highestrelease = 0
for (pri, rinfo) in releases:
if rinfo.get('suite', '') not in ignoresuites:
version = RELEASE_CODENAME_LOOKUP.get(unknown, rinfo.get('sui
te',''))
if version highestrelease:
highestrelease = version
# And return it
for (pri, rinfo) in releases:
if rinfo.get('suite', '') not in ignoresuites:
version = RELEASE_CODENAME_LOOKUP.get(unknown, rinfo.get('sui
te',''))
6. Successfully attempt:
# sudo do-release-upgrade
Upgrade to Lucid proceeds smoothly.

Sorry, I can barly remember which skript failed there.

[Bug 310915] Re: global name 'unknown' is not defined
Jens, do you have a test case for this? I can confirm that there's a bug in the code, but I'm entirely unable to trigger a failure in lsb_release as a result of it; even if I remove all of /etc/apt/sources.list, /etc/debian_version, and /etc/lsb-release, lsb_release -a still succeeds (though obviously returns questionable values). Without a use case that's actually broken by this incorrect code, I'm dropping the milestone of 8.04.4. ** Changed in: lsb (Ubuntu Hardy) Milestone: ubuntu-8.04.4 = None -- global name 'unknown' is not defined https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is indeed a valid bug in 8.04 (still present in lsb 4.0-0ubuntu0.8.04.1), but seems to have been fixed in more recent versions - Karmic doesn't have this bug. ** Also affects: lsb (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lsb (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released ** Changed in: lsb (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: lsb (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: lsb (Ubuntu Hardy) Milestone: None = ubuntu-8.04.4 -- global name 'unknown' is not defined https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
