As Database
Admin, Linux Admin, or system admin, you must have come across this error
or situation,
Here I was
trying to see release details of the Linux operating system using the
lsb_release command but it failed with the below error.
On seeing
this error, I thought lsb_release was not installed on the server, so I tried
to install using the yum command but it failed with the error "Error:
Unable to find a match: lsb_release"
[root@localhost
bin]# lsb_release
bash:
lsb_release: command not found...
[root@localhost
bin]# yum install lsb_release

No match
for argument: lsb_release
Error:
Unable to find a match: lsb_release
[root@localhost
bin]#
So here is the trick, you need to identify which
package provides this command using the below method
[root@localhost
bin]# yum whatprovides lsb_release

Here we see package redhat-lsb-core provides the
lsb_release command, so to access lsb_release we need to install the
redhat-lsb-core package, let's try to install it
[root@localhost
bin]# yum install redhat-lsb-core
