cinnamon-settings.py crashed with AttributeError in createSystemInfos(): module 'platform' has no attribute 'linux_distribution'

[Joshua Peisach]

Ubuntu Cinnamon Testing: People have said System Info in settings does not work. Looks for "linux-distribution" which I can't trace anywhere. I don't know where this is, cinnamon or cinnamon-control-center or cinnamon-settings-this may be an enduser Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix issue.

Reporting to Debian. This is for package "cinnamon-core".

Cherry nitpicking with python-basically just python updates messing things around. It's nothing too big. Thanks to Norbert for fixing. Will be requestingsync

This bug was fixed in the package cinnamon - 4.4.8-3

---------------
cinnamon (4.4.8-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Suggest python3-opencv instead of python-opencv (Closes: #954155)
  * Cherry-pick fix for OS detection with Python 3.8 (Closes: #955594)
