[issue1322] platform.dist() has unpredictable result under Linux

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal at egenix.com> added the comment:

Also note that linux_distribution() will use the parsed distro name from
the release file per default (full_distribution_name=1), so the problem
described in the original ticket description should no longer be
relevant: all release files point to the same lsb-release file in the end.

I don't have access to Mandriva. Could you please let me know whether
the current SVN version of platform.py still exhibits the mentioned
problem ?

Thanks.
