uname parser on Devuan fails

Hi,

I’m running Devuan GNU/Linux on a virtual machine, and the uname parser fails. The “processor” and “machine” attributes pick up parts of the kernel version.

I’m guessing there are two problems here:

• The kernel version is pretty messed up. 😳
• The processor and hardware platform are unknown (because it’s on a virtual machine), and thus omitted from the output.

I don’t know if this matters, but It’s on Devuan (a Debian clone without systemd):

traal@soya 07:06 ~ 0$ lsb_release -a

Resolved in v1.17.1

Ah yes, you are right - thanks for testing! I’ll have to ensure I have a test for that, too.

Thanks again!
