Package: lsb-release
Version: 10.2018112800
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

At first this system was Ubuntu 13.04, then 13.10, 14.04 and 16.04
version. Yesterday I upgraded it to Debian 10 with just APT/Aptitude.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

$ lsb_release -a

* What was the outcome of this action?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 95, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 59, in main
    distinfo = lsb_release.get_distro_information()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 356, in get_distro_information
    distinfo = guess_debian_release()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 246, in guess_debian_release
    get_distro_info(distinfo['ID'])
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 48, in get_distro_info
    RELEASES_ORDER.sort(key=lambda n: float(n[0]))
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py", line 48, in <lambda>
    RELEASES_ORDER.sort(key=lambda n: float(n[0]))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '6.06 LTS'

* What outcome did you expect instead?

Some sensible output.

Hi there Marcin,

This is a _totally_ unsupported upgrade procedure :-) The only thing Debian 
supports is either clean setups or upgrades from the previous _Debian_ stable. 
(Even upgrades skipping a Debian stable release are not supported.)

This seems to indicate you have upgraded to 16.06 in the mean time, have you 
not?

I guess you should be able to get out of this situation by deleting
/etc/lsb-release (see https://bugs.debian.org/914287).

Sorry, but I'm not going to add code to support such upgrade paths in LSB; 
closing and tagging accordingly.

Cheers,
    OdyX
