Why lsb_release -c command , returns n/a?

Question

recently I switched from zorin os to deepin 20 for it's outstanding UI and eases of use for daily operations.

it's almost OK but if I need some newer packages which are not listed in official deepin repositories, I have to use some community installer scripts that rely on this command to obtain the correct linux LSB version :

lsb_release -c

the problem is : the return value is "n/a" that consequently, breaks down the installation process. how can I fix this ?

Does this answer your question? How to get Debian codename without lsb-release — Stephen Kitt, Aug 08 '20 at 18:34
It's Helped Me. But I want to correct the result of lsb_release (to things work well at deepin) - thanks . @StephenKitt — smbanaei, Aug 09 '20 at 20:02

I finally found out the partial solution (because i could not correct the codename section of lsb_release result) that had me get rid of this error :

just replace the command :

lsb_release -c

with :

dpkg --status tzdata|grep Provides|cut -f2 -d'-'

in every script that uses the first one.

Thanks to bcoca

Can lsb_release be aliased to return the value of your suggested command? – Evans M. Sep 15 '20 at 15:29

Put LSB_VERSION="something" in /etc/lsb-release.
