New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com>:

When the release file doesn't contain some data, then platform._parse_release_file() causes UnboundLocalError. I'm attaching the patch to fix it.

$ python2.7 -c 'import platform; platform._parse_release_file("")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/platform.py", line 285, in _parse_release_file
    return '', version, id
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'version' referenced before assignment
