** Description changed:
$ how-many-binary -a amd64 -r xenial
0
+ Regardless of all tags & arguments
- Regardless of all tags & arguments
+ == SRU ==
+
+ [IMPACT]
+
+ The how-many-binary command doesn't actually work, now that xenial is
+ released and yakkety is open, as it used distro-info.
+
+ [TEST CASE]
+
+ $ how-many-binary
+ 0
+
+ It should return something more like:
+
+ $ how-man-binary
+ 53837
+
+ The fix is to use /etc/lsb-release instead of distro-info. Duh.
+
+ [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
+ Negligible.
+
+ The patch is already committed upstream, and uploaded to yakkety.
