# lsb_release -irc
Distributor ID: Debian
Release:        3.1
Codename:       sarge

Looks, like I have an outdated /etc/lsb-release:
DISTRIB_ID=Debian
DISTRIB_RELEASE=3.1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=sarge
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux"

# dpkg -S /etc/lsb-release doesn't list a owning package.

Maybe lsb-release didn't correctly upgrade this file.

# md5sum /etc/lsb-release
b5bfe10d9b02fb4e4a45337d1c4d88ab  /etc/lsb-release

lsb-release.postinst:
#!/bin/sh -e

case "$1" in
    configure)
        if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 3.0-8; then
            if [ -e /etc/lsb-release ]; then
                MD5SUM=`md5sum /etc/lsb-release | cut -d" " -f1`
                if [ "$MD5SUM" = "b5bfe10d9b02fb4e4a45337d1c4d88ab" ]; then
                    rm -f /etc/lsb-release
                fi
            fi
        fi
        ;;
esac

# apt-cache policy lsb-release
lsb-release:
  Installiert:3.2-5
  Mögliche Pakete:3.2-5
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 3.2-5 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


I think it's safe to reassign the bug to lsb-release.

Cheers,
Michael
