kevin.cherkauer@mongodb.com ran into an issue where the pre-installed ubuntu package "lsb_release" throws an error on invocation:

> lsb_release -a
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lsb_release", line 25, in <module>
    import lsb_release
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lsb_release'

This triggers an error whenever using the built-in python package "distro" and points to a larger issue where other internals may be failing.

Investigate the cause of the workstation corruption and whether or not there's a way to detect and remediate the issue.
