Description James Andrewartha 2006-05-13 02:59:26 UTC 
When checking for the distro, tinderbox.py calls lsb_release, which doesn't exist on (open)solaris, causing a CommandError.

patch to fix CommandError exception

Just a one-line fix.
Comment 2 James Henstridge 2006-05-13 07:53:59 UTC 
I changed get_distro() to catch CommandError rather than OSError now.  That should solve the problem (I think the only case where OSError would be expected to occur now raises CommandError).

Thanks for the bug report.
