Puppet users - Mar 2009 - lsb_release misleading..

Hi there,

I understand we have a variable $lsbdistcodename which gets its info from 
the output of the lsb_release command but I''ve just found that this is
not
very reliable.

I have several Debian Etch servers for which lsb_release reports that they 
are running sarge :(

So far I''ve been unable to find out how to correct this or where to
start
in correcting it!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Make sure that you really have the etch version of base-files installed.
The lsb_release information is based on the contents of
/etc/debian_version, which is shipped in base-files.
