My mistake, the package wans't broken, it was actually that the binary's itself that don't wan't to call DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Arch Linux" in /etc/lsb-release. Ncbi-tools just calls the lsb_release tool to get information about the system so I'll have to try another approach.

Hi,
Could i possibly maintain "lsb-release" in the AUR, I need a working version for my current package project "ncbi-tools" for it to compile correctly. The current maintainer is unresponsive and 3 people at the moment needs it.
Thank you - Corex
What exactly is broken in the current package? Also, have you tried patching ncbi-tools to build correctly with the present lsb-release package? Both questions are sincere as I don't have experience with either software.
