it looks like it is not reliable to check for the lack of a /etc/lsb-release file (to
distinguish it from ubuntu). Debain may also have a /etc/lsb-release file. See

usage reporting does report ubuntu linux as debian

Key: JBIDE-7268
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7268
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: usage
Affects Versions: 3.2.0.M2
Reporter: Andre Dietisheim
Assignee: Andre Dietisheim
Fix For: 3.2.0.Beta2
The usage reporting plugin currently recognizes Ubuntu linux as debian. This is wrong and
should be corrected.
The reason is the following:
- the recogintion code checks the presence of certain files:
/etc/lsb-release for Ubuntu
and /etc/debian_version for Debian.
- Debian is checked before Ubuntu, so it finds /etc/debian_version and thinks the Ubuntu
distro is a debian distro.
- Furthermore this file contains no numerical verison (contains "squeeze/sid")
in it, so Ubuntu distros get reported as Debian without version.
