Dcell on Heroku and lsb_release -d causes catastrophic failure

[halorgium]

I have forked a copy of the ffi-rzmq gem and added in some Heroku (via bash) compiled zeromq libraries:

https://github.com/jsgoecke/ffi-rzmq/commit/ae88b6bc8f5b6f28017385777068a2c206065b37

But when I try to kick off the process on Heroku I am getting an error from this line:

https://github.com/celluloid/dcell/blob/master/lib/dcell/info_service.rb#L48

Here is the error itself:

https://gist.github.com/73cdfcd534700f073af2

This causes a catastrophic failure of the application. Would be great if it gave a warning instead.

@jsgoecke that gist seems to have evaporated.
I am guessing heroku didn't feel like installing this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/lsb-release

Could confirm the error was probably related to this?

$ heroku run lsb_release -d
Running `lsb_release -d` attached to terminal... up, run.5369
bash: lsb_release: command not found

@halorgium it's probably related to the info service. I believe it may be fixed now?

[halorgium]

@tarcieri definitely. but if lsb_release does not exist, the String matching will fail most likely.

@jsgoecke on a related note, i would recommend simply installing some .debs directly into your slug using a buildpack.

It would be awesome to have a DCell buildpack combined with my spiped buildpack/app for DCell inside @heroku!
