Just updated, have the same in /etc/lsb-release, no other problems found so far Discussed this on IRC. The DISTRIB_ID needs to be changed to one word. In fact I do not think it is desirable to change DISTRIB_ID at all, since I usually have several DE installed on the same system and do not want DE to compete to change DISTRIB_ID. Neon supports only one desktop. On 29/02/2016 15:17, Harald Sitter via KDE Bugzilla wrote:

This is unfortunate since I am currently using MATE while I am waiting for the most serious Qt5/KF5/Plasma/KDE bugs to be fixed.
Besides, I administer systems for students and we like to offer them a choice of DE.
I have inconsistent release info http://i.imgur.com/OYnv4gA.png If you have kubuntu-settings-desktop installed then it'll show that. remove --purge it if you don't want it to. Here is another side effect of neon packages messing with /etc/lsb-release: Unpacking base-files (9.4ubuntu4) over (9.4ubuntu3+p16.04+git20160414.1434) ...

Hi, I installed KDE neon packages and now the /etc/lsb-release file on my system contains: DISTRIB_ID=KDE neon DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=wily DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="KDE neon on 15.10" This is a problem because it breaks at least update-apt-xapian-index : # update-apt-xapian-index ERROR:root:DebFileApplication import Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from debfile import DebFileApplication, DebFileOpenError File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/debfile.py", line 25, in <module> from softwarecenter.db.application import Application, AppDetails File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/application.py", line 28, in <module> import softwarecenter.distro File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py", line 199, in <module> distro_instance = _get_distro() File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py", line 174, in _get_distro module = __import__(distro_module_name, globals(), locals(), [], -1) ImportError: No module named kde neon Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 102, in <module> if not indexer.setupIndexing(force=opts.force, system=opts.pkgfile is None): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/axi/indexer.py", line 471, in setupIndexing self.plugins = Plugins(progress=self.progress, system=system) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/axi/indexer.py", line 94, in __init__ addon = Addon(fullname, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/axi/indexer.py", line 49, in __init__ self.module = imp.load_source("axi.plugin_" + self.name, fname) File "/usr/share/apt-xapian-index/plugins/software_center.py", line 13, in <module> from softwarecenter.db.update import ( File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/update.py", line 33, in <module> from softwarecenter.backend.scagent import SoftwareCenterAgent File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/backend/scagent.py", line 28, in <module> from softwarecenter.distro import get_distro, get_current_arch File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py", line 199, in <module> distro_instance = _get_distro() File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py", line 174, in _get_distro module = __import__(distro_module_name, globals(), locals(), [], -1) ImportError: No module named kde neon Reproducible: Always
