#307 Amazon Linux will be detected as Ubuntu if with package redhat-lsb-core-4.0-7.14.amzn1.x86_64

[Bin Yi]

Trying to install tanuki service on Amazon AMI, normally it was detected as generic Linux:
Detected Linux:
But if with the package redhat-lsb-core-4.0-7.14.amzn1.x86_64 installed:
sudo yum install -y redhat-lsb-core-4.0-7.14.amzn1.x86_64
since a file /etc/lsb-release will be created, the OS is detected as Ubuntu now and install with init.d failed:
Detected Ubuntu or Debian: Installing the SumoLogic Collector daemon using init.d.. ./collector: line 1822: update-rc.d: command not found

Thank you for reporting this issue.

Could you try updating your shell script to test if the update-rc.d command exists before falling into the "Ubuntu - Debian" case?

Please replace

elif [ -f /etc/lsb-release -o -f /etc/debian_version -o -f /etc/debian_release ] ; then

by

elif [ -f /etc/lsb-release -o -f /etc/debian_version -o -f /etc/debian_release ] && [ "Xcommand -v update-rc.d" != "X" ] ; then

(3 places in the shell scripts).

Please let me know if this fix your issue.

Best Regards,

Maxime

Thanks for your reply.
I get what you means but the line I'm using is

elif [ -f /etc/lsb-release -o -f /etc/debian_version -o -f /etc/debian_release ] && [ "X$(command -v update-rc.d)" != "X" ] ; then

And it works.
By looking your line I guess the format ate your left quote marks

I think this fix is good enough. Our customer suggested consider the Amazon AMI is widely used today, it's better do a more initiative detection for it other than fall it into "other Linux".

Anyway. Thanks a lot for your quick response
