Comment 6 for bug 982370

I would like to see this bug opened up again. It affects both 12.04 and 12.10. It can be easily reproduced by putting Ubuntu in quotes in /etc/lsb-release, i.e. DISTRIB_ID="Ubuntu" rather than DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu. Once I changed the DISTRIB_ID to Ubuntu (without quotes) the problem went away.
Since other values in /etc/lsb-release accept quotes (DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION), I would suggest that the values should be read correctly regardless of whether there are quotation marks or not. This would lead to a consistent format in /etc/lsb-release.
Thanks.
