title: lsb_release: command not found in latest Ubuntu Docker container
body: <p>I just wanted to test something out real quick. So I ran a docker container and I wanted to check which version I was running:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ docker run -it ubuntu    
  root@471bdb08b11a:/# lsb_release -a
  bash: lsb_release: command not found
  root@471bdb08b11a:/# 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I tried installing it (as <a href="http://www.andryhacks.com/bash-lsb_release-command-not-found/" rel="noreferrer">suggested here</a>):</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@471bdb08b11a:/# apt install lsb_release
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Unable to locate package lsb_release
  root@471bdb08b11a:/# 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anybody any idea why this isn't working?</p>
