User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0 Build Identifier: It is sometimes useful to mount a system. And, after mounting, to look at "/etc/os-release". On Tumbleweed, this gives a wrong value. It turns out that "/etc/os-release" is a symbolic link to "/usr/lib/os-release". I believe that it should, instead, be a symbolic link to "../usr/lib/os-release" (i.e. a relative link). That way it should work correctly for mounted systems. Reproducible: Always
