David: don't symlink the file. Don't create it with zero bytes. As a temporary hack, create the file yourself with /correct/ contents:
openSUSE 15.0 (x86_64) VERSION = 15.0 CODENAME = Dunno # /etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future...
And take that time to correct your scripts. No other way.
Will do. Parsing os-release is no problem (thank you and Bengt for the suggestions). It's these little things that slip into/out of the distro without much fanfare that can catch a few off-guard. I've known of the trend to os-release for several years, but openSuSE and Archlinux have continued to provide the traditional files -- I suspect for reasons Christian identified. -- David C.
