Minimal information detected when lsb-release isn't installed

Hi,

I hit this bug while using the distro module in a Debian Stretch docker container:

>>> distro._distroi.linux_distribution()
('Debian GNU/Linux', '', '')
>>> distro._distroi.info()
{'like': '', 'codename': '', 'id': 'debian', 'version': '', 'version_parts': {'build_number': '', 'major': '', 'minor': ''}}

Expected output:

>>> distro.linux_distribution()
('Debian GNU/Linux', 'testing', 'stretch')
>>> distro.info()
{'like': '', 'version': 'testing', 'codename': 'stretch', 'id': 'debian', 'version_parts': {'major': '', 'build_number': '', 'minor': ''}}

The /etc/os-release:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Everything worked fine when I installed the lsb-release package, but I was under the impression that I wouldn’t need it in the first place.

HTH.

The information from when this ticket was created was when stretch was not yet a released version. Debian in this case chose to not fill out the release information. It is filed out now that it is released however \o/

I believe so, yes
