[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#589308: No module named lsb_release

[Julien Danjou]

Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 195.36.24-4
Severity: normal

On fresh squeeze, installing nvidia-kernel via module-assistant triggers the following:

The following extra packages will be installed:
  autopoint cvs debhelper diffstat dkms gettext html2text intltool-debian libcroco3
  libfile-copy-recursive-perl libmail-sendmail-perl libsys-hostname-long-perl libvdpau1
  lsb-release nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-vdpau-driver
  po-debconf python-support quilt update-inetd
Suggested packages:
  dh-make gettext-doc lsb nvidia-settings libmail-box-perl procmail graphviz
Recommended packages:
  nvidia-kernel-195.36.24
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  autopoint cvs debhelper diffstat dkms gettext html2text intltool-debian libcroco3
  libfile-copy-recursive-perl libmail-sendmail-perl libsys-hostname-long-perl libvdpau1
  lsb-release nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-source
  nvidia-vdpau-driver po-debconf python-support quilt update-inetd

-> Note that lsb-release was not yet installed

Later on configure:

Setting up nvidia-kernel-common (20100522+1) ...
Setting up nvidia-kernel-dkms (195.36.24-4) ...
Loading new nvidia-195.36.24 DKMS files...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import lsb_release
...
several other times

Then lsb-release is being configured, and then works.

I think nvidia-kernel-dkms is using lsb-release too soon. It should pre-depends on it.
