<div>
<pre>On a system where an empty /etc/os-release file exists (for some reason)
DistributionInformationTest (and DistributionInformation) does not work
correctly.
Steps to reproduce (on a system where /etc/os-release can be modified; this may
be dangerous).
1. sudo echo "" > /etc/os-release
2. run DistributionInformationTest
This is for example reproducible in a minimal RHEL 6.6 mock root with
redhat-release and redhat-lsb-core packages are installed.
IMHO, we should check if /etc/os-release is empty before we move on and use it.</pre>
