I'm pretty sure we don't have an os-release recipe in oe-core at all yet,
so the file isn't going to exist on target. Mentor has one in meta-mentor
at the moment pending time to submit it again / poke on the existing
thread. See the thread with the subject "[RFC PATCH 0/2] Add
/etc/os-release". It's definitely something we should have, in my opinion.
