looks like the vmware installer uses a partial python2.x environment, and then calling everything else with this environment. when lsb_release is called, then they try to run a python3 with a partial python2.x library, which is ... interesting.

not seen on other distros, because lsb_release isn't implemented there in python. not seen in precise (at least in the final release), because lsb_release uses python2.x there, and they don't break it as bad as in quantal.
