Bug#1088402: ansible integration test fail using aptsource

[Lee Garrett <debian@rocketjump.eu>]

Package: python3-apt
Version: 2.6.0
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian@rocketjump.eu

Hi,

ansible uses python3-apt in some of the integration tests, where it triggers
following traceback on sid:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"<stdin>\", line 121, in <module>
  File \"<stdin>\", line 113, in _ansiballz_main
  File \"<stdin>\", line 61, in invoke_module
  File \"<frozen runpy>\", line 226, in run_module
  File \"<frozen runpy>\", line 98, in _run_module_code
  File \"<frozen runpy>\", line 88, in _run_code
  File \"/tmp/ansible_apt_repository_payload_88mfa8n7/ansible_apt_repository_payload.zip/ansible/modules/apt_repository.py\", line 195, in <module>
  File \"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py\", line 547, in get_distro
    release = os_release[\"VERSION_ID\"]
              ~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'VERSION_ID'

The relevant code assumes that VERSION_ID is always set in /etc/so-release,
which is not the case for Debian sid. See Debian bugs #1042805, #746548 (requests
to add it in base-files). Upstream spec says the field is optional, so we can't
rely on it.

Greets,
Lee
