Hello,

I tried to install packages on a Linux PC after registering it on the server.
During the installation, I encountered an error with the `platform` module and the `linux_distribution` attribute.
I replaced the `platform` module with the `distro` module, and the installation went smoothly.
I don't know if others have experienced the same problem and if this is the correct solution.

AttributeError: module 'platform' has no attribute 'linux_distribution'
AttributeError: module 'platform' has no attribute 'linux_distribution'

Package: VLC and Anydesk
Linux Version: Ubuntu 20.04
WAPT Version 2.0 9428 Enterprise

Hi Pierrehenry,
yes, with the switch to Python 3.8, the linux_distribution() function was moved from the platform module to the distro module... We fixed it in the latest build and I'll be pushing it to the nightly build soon.

This will be fixed in the upcoming version 2.1, which should be released soon.

Hello,
I have the same problem with version 2.1, which I recently installed.
Do I still need to make the change manually?
Regards
