Bug Description

Binary package hint: bastille

After upgrading to Jaunty, all of the Bastille commands exit with a complaint about operating sytem "DB5.0". Changing the contents of /etc/debian_version back to "4.0" provides a work-around, but I don't know what else that might mess up. I checked the "security vulnerability" box because a problem with Bastille could very plausibly cause security problems, although I'm not specifically aware of any.

One change I would really like to see pushed upstream: Even if Bastille doesn't know what to do with a given OS version, RevertBastille should still undo whatever changes Bastille made: Being able to cleanly remove a package is fail-safe functionality that needs to work even when everything else doesn't.

(lsb_release -rd says "Ubuntu 9.04")
