distro-info-data in wheezy is outdated

[Dennis van Dok]

Hi,

I'm running wheezy with some packages from unstable.
The distro-info-data package in wheezy is outdated (0.11).
Running ubuntu-distro-info --devel will say that the distribution data is outdated:

ubuntu-distro-info -d -f
ubuntu-distro-info: Distribution data outdated.
Please check for an update for distro-info-data. See /usr/share/doc/distro-info-data/README.Debian for details.

Sid has version 0.16, which is updated. The README suggests to include
wheezy-updates in the apt-sources, but there is nothing in that repo yet.

I resorted to instaling 0.16; is this advisable?

Thanks,

Dennis

Work on updating distro-info-data in wheezy is already ongoing: see #707752.

That should not pose a problem as a temporary workaround, indeed.


Cheers,
