Public bug reported: Installing python3-distro-info on Ubuntu 16.04 breaks the ubuntu- security-status script.
The script runs before I install python3-distro-info: ubuntu@ip-172-31-14-142:~$ ./ubuntu-security-status --universe 473 packages installed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, of which: 2 packages are from universe/multiverse ansible python-selinux Packages from universe (and multiverse) are provided from the official Ubuntu archive and subject to patching via ESM. Run 'apt-cache show ansible' to learn more about that specifc package.
