BL Notoriety for Docker Install

It seems BL's notoriety has increased so far as to make it into the Docker install guide, step 3:

Note: The lsb_release -cs sub-command below returns the name of your Debian distribution, such as helium. Sometimes, in a distribution like BunsenLabs Linux, you might need to change $(lsb_release -cs) to your parent Debian distribution. For example, if you are using BunsenLabs Linux Helium, you could use stretch. Docker does not offer any guarantees on untested and unsupported Debian distributions.

The thing is, the result of `lsb_release -cs` in BL Lithium no longer differs to the result in vanilla Debian.

buster

Maybe someone should go tell them?

Hmm, although `lsb_release -cs` is producing the intended result, I am receiving an error with either of the following:

add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable"

error:

Maybe this should now be moved to the help & support category.

There is alreadey a thread of the subject: Skript add-apt-repository fails

I recommend you to skip the skript and edit source manually.
