He-he! Nope! You forgot to slow down and read! See the next line.

And since it's early and I have no shame anyway, I found the problem ...
in the "wetware"  :P  I forgot to slow down and *think*, a much larger
sin!

man /usr/bin/lsb_release  is *NOT* the same as   man lsb_release

I would blame it on lack of sleep, but that would be a lie.

times.
