When I run lsb_release on Debian 8, following error is appeared:
No LSB modules are available.
Is there any missing file causes this problem?

As the error message says lsb_release command is installed but lsb module isn't. Use this command to solve the problem:
apt-get install lsb-core
I suggest to use lsb_release -a instead of lsb_release. It shows more useful output.

1What is the problem? you can't install lsb-core or running ip causes errors?– SuBJul 5, 2018 at 9:28

lsb-compatis installed instead as replacement forlsb-coreand after this is installed it changes nothing.lsb_release -astill outputsNo LSB modules are available.(together with the excepted useful output, so it is not really a problem but still irritating).– kayahrJul 6, 2018 at 12:20 -

lsb_release -csworked, then it stopped oddly. I installedlsb-coreand it works like a butterfly, ty.– JREAMJul 29, 2018 at 21:37
I just moved to Debian 11, Bullseye and, in order to check the release, you have to type
lsb_release -cs
lsb-core in Bullseye does not exist.

lsb_release -rstill works, too, if all you want is the release number, orlsb_release -aif you want it all. But none of this has anything to do with the OP's question. Nov 11, 2021 at 5:59
Debian discontinued support for the Linux Standard Base in 2015. See Debian and LSB.
If you don't want to see the message No LSB modules are available,
a workaround is to use the flags -cdir instead of -a :
lsb_release -cdir

lsb_release -cdirstill shows mentioned message on my Debian 12, only workaround for me is to use2>/dev/null. Anyway, hanks for the link. Feb 2 at 15:43
While building a container image based on Debian 11 (bullseye) I had to install the lsb_release command using:
apt-get -y install lsb-release
since, as Denis Pitzalis pointed out, the lsb-core package does not exist for 11
