install the lsb packages...
Comment 2 Stew Benedict 2012-03-27 02:07:11 CEST 
This is by design. I don't believe we should claim support for an LSB version if the deps are not installed. lsb_release is just a utility, and it's telling you what's going on (perhaps a little oblique), that there is no LSB support installed

urpmi lsb should pull everything in
Comment 3 mnaud mnaud 2012-03-27 22:40:04 CEST 
adding lsb* rpm package solve effectively this behavior.

i was thinking that installing lsb-release will install all lsb* rpm as dependencies.

don't hesitate to close this bug as wrong report.
thanks for your answer.


suggestion:
maybe you can register mageia to lsb cert ?

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
