Comment 3 for bug 1020038

I don't see how /etc/lsb-release being part of a package is relevant to the steps to reproduce. Yes, if the file is missing then something has gone wrong on the system. But how would someone learn what the problem was?

I understand that crashing invisibly would be the only option if, say, Python was missing. Or GTK. Or maybe even WebKit. But not a data file. If it's unreasonable to run USC without that file, then don't just crash, show an error message.
