Multiple platforms match current OS for a debian docker image

[gsemet]

Hello

We are using custom made debian linux image on our Python development environemtn (mainly derivating from the official python images on github), but extras-platforms now raises in the current_os:

RuntimeError: Multiple platforms match current OS: [Platform(id='debian', name='Debian', current=True), Platform(id='unknown_linux', name='Unknown Linux', current=True)]

It is a debian, why does it also matches with the unknown_linux ? And even if two platforms are matching, why not matching the first matching? It kind of breaking all our CI now we updated to a package that depends on extras-platforms...

Reproduced with

$ sudo docker run -it python:3.10 bash
# from here, we are inside the docker image
$ pip install extra_platforms
$ python
>>> import extra_platforms
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/extra_platforms/__init__.py", line 181, in <module>
    CURRENT_OS_ID: str = current_os().id
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/extra_platforms/__init__.py", line 168, in current_os

I am getting this as well on macOS Sequoia with multiple containers based on Bitnami/Python

Thank you all for the feedback! You're right, my heuristics to detect linux distributions are too lax and conflicting. I'll fix that right away.

Issue has been fixed upstream. Give me a bit of more time to cut a release.
