Issue: Feature Request I had some fun attempting to do a production installat…ion of bench on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Python 3.8 this morning. Yes, Ubuntu 20.04 is still [very VERY new](https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2020-April/000256.html). #### To reproduce As stated in Bench README: ```bash apt install python3-minimal build-essential python3-setuptools wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py python3 install.py --production ``` ### `platform.dist()` removed in Python 3.8 Python 3.8 removed finally removed the deprecated `platform.dist()` method. This has been [deprecated since Python 2.6](https://docs.python.org/2/library/platform.html#platform.dist). Although changing `install.py:100` to `current_dist = ('Ubuntu', '20.04', 'focal')` easily fixed that issue. I grabbed that running `platform.dist()` in a Python 2 console. ### `libssl1.0-dev` unavailable in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS The easy install script kept going for some time until it reached this: ``` TASK [common : install pdf prerequisites for Ubuntu >= 18.04] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ task path: /tmp/.bench/playbooks/roles/common/tasks/ubuntu.yml:33 <127.0.0.1> ESTABLISH LOCAL CONNECTION FOR USER: root <127.0.0.1> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'echo ~root && sleep 0' <127.0.0.1> EXEC /bin/sh -c '( umask 77 && mkdir -p "` echo /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921 `" && echo ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921="` echo /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921 `" ) && sleep 0' Using module file /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible/modules/packaging/os/apt.py <127.0.0.1> PUT /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-349933sshhs80/tmpgx2rvu9o TO /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921/AnsiballZ_apt.py <127.0.0.1> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'chmod u+x /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921/ /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921/AnsiballZ_apt.py && sleep 0' <127.0.0.1> EXEC /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/python3 /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921/AnsiballZ_apt.py && sleep 0' <127.0.0.1> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'rm -f -r /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1589483796.3580744-140108001331921/ > /dev/null 2>&1 && sleep 0' The full traceback is: File "/tmp/ansible_apt_payload_u1hwk7sb/__main__.py", line 434, in package_status pkg = cache[pkgname] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 305, in __getitem__ raise KeyError('The cache has no package named %r' % key) fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => { "changed": false, "invocation": { "module_args": { "allow_unauthenticated": false, "autoclean": false, "autoremove": false, "cache_valid_time": 0, "deb": null, "default_release": null, "dpkg_options": "force-confdef,force-confold", "force": true, "force_apt_get": false, "install_recommends": null, "only_upgrade": false, "package": [ "libssl1.0-dev" ], "pkg": [ "libssl1.0-dev" ], "policy_rc_d": null, "purge": false, "state": "present", "update_cache": null, "upgrade": null } }, "msg": "No package matching 'libssl1.0-dev' is available" } ``` `libssl1.0-dev` looks to be unavailable on Ubuntu 20.04 APT repos. ```bash root@mysupercoolnewserver:~# sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libssl1.0-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libssl1.0-dev' has no installation candidate ``` I am currently looking to see if `libssl1.0-dev` is supposed to be included into Focal repositories at a later date. Are there plans to support Ubuntu 20 LTS? If so, when would this be possible?

Issue: Easy Install **Distro Information (Required)** Ubuntu 20.04 LTS …And for all new distros in future **Possible Solution** To replace **Replace platform.dist() with distro.linux_distribution in install.py** Use this module https://github.com/nir0s/distro for getting distro/system verion information. I will try to cook something myself. But I am not a professional programmer. So if anybody can work on this request.

However, others have been using this: (UPDATED)
