The minor_version() returns an empty string ('') on Debian 10 Buster (amd64 and armhf).
The platform module reports 10.12 for the version, but the distro equivalent does not. I consider this a bug.
# cat /etc/debian_version
10.12
In this case, distro.minor_version() should return '12', and distro.version(), distro.version_parts() should return the minor version number accordingly.
Similarly distro.build_number() also returns ''. This may or may not be correct, but might also be a bug if falling foul of the same bug as minor_version().
>>> import platform as p
>>> import distro as d
>>> d.__version__
'1.7.0'
>>> p.linux_distribution()
('debian', '10.12', '')
>>> d.linux_distribution( full_distribution_name=False )
('debian', '10', 'buster')
>>> d.version()
'10'
>>> d.major_version()
'10'
>>> d.minor_version()
''
>>> d.build_number()
''
