[New-bugs-announce] [issue9514] platform.linux_distribution() under Ubuntu returns ('debian', 'squeeze/sid', '')

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

At least on one of the buildbots:

Re-running test 'test_ssl' in verbose mode
test_ssl: testing with 'OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010' (0, 9, 8, 15, 15)
          under Linux ('debian', 'squeeze/sid', '')

at the bottom of http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/i386%20Ubuntu%203.x/builds/1788/steps/test/logs/stdio

Someone on IRC pointed out that on their machine, the system Python returned ('Ubuntu', '10.04', 'lucid').
