Hi,
Attached is a patch that will allow cobbler to run on a Ubuntu system.
It parses /etc/lsb-release to get the distribution name and version
needed in utils.py os_release() def.
I also have updated the debian/control file that is used to build the
cobbler .deb. It will now pickup some missing dependencies.
