This is caused by the VMware player installer playing games with $PYTHONHOME to try to point it at its own *Python 2* runtime, and trying to call lsb_release (a Python 3 script on Ubuntu 12.10) while $PYTHONHOME is pointing at the wrong runtime.
I personally think this is a bug in the VMware player installer script.
I think it's a bug in lsb_release, too. It should use the -E option in its shebang: with "#!/usr/bin/python" $ PYTHONHOME=/invalid /usr/bin/lsb_release ImportError: No module named site with "#!/usr/bin/python -E" $ PYTHONHOME=/invalid /usr/bin/lsb_release LSB Version: core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch
