/usr/bin/lsb_release:81: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated import sets

[Mark Greenwood]

This message has started appearing all over the place, frequently when I do a command line operation. It even appears in the text at the top of the 'Hardware Drivers' window, which now reads as follows:

"Proprietary drivers do not have public source code that /usr/bin/lsb_release :81: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated import sets Ubuntu developers are free to modify..."

bob@hoss:~$ lsb_release -rd
/usr/bin/lsb_release:81: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  import sets

I see that /usr/bin/lsb_release is a python script, and the deprecation warning started here today after the update of python from 2.5.4 to 2.6.1, so it might be related to that.
