I need lsb-release

I'm trying to run a sysinfo script in xchat, but it requires lsb-release. I can't seem to find it. Anyone know how to get it. Heres the error i get with the script

sysinfo 
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/tronica/.xchat2/sysinfo.py", line 180, in sysinfo_cb
     distro, release, codename, kernel = getVersion()
   File "/home/tronica/.xchat2/sysinfo.py", line 16, in getVersion
     lsb = open('/etc/lsb-release')
 IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/lsb-release'

Thanks,

I don't think we have that file anywhere, considering we're not an LSB-compliant distro (afaik) - one of the reasons of which is that we don't support RPM, for example.

Re: I need lsb-release

I thought this but got scared to say something after finding this.

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/lsb-release

But I did wonder though as its hosted on https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil … up_id=1107 as a tar.gz whether it would solve your problem I don't know.

Think Cerebral has explained why you won't find it though.
