Description

On a F23 system that has apt-get installed, install-deps.sh fails.

Lines #63-#65 of install-deps.sh contain:

if type apt-get > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
    $SUDO apt-get install -y lsb-release devscripts equivs
fi

This results in the following error:

E: Couldn't find package lsb-release

Removing the apt toolset (sudo dnf remove apt) resolves the issue. But it seems there's an underlying assumption that is not valid.

I don't think there is a reliable way to address all cases. A lot systems have the ability to install multiple packaging systems and relying on the packaging system is not 100% safe. Ideally lsb-release would be available by default everywhere (and I certainly hope that will be the case eventually). In the meantime, unless you have a idea on how to reliably guess the install system in place, I propose we keep that as it is.

Feel free to re-open if you disagree, I'm happy to keep discussing this :-)
