Should be available, I see on our build chroot:

sh-3.1# cat /etc/SuSE-release 
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (ia64)
VERSION = 10

sh-3.1# rpm -q --provides lsb
lsb = 2.0
lsb-core-noarch = 2.0
lsb-core-noarch = 3.0
lsb-core-ia64 = 2.0
lsb-core-ia64 = 3.0
lsb-graphics-noarch = 2.0
lsb-graphics-noarch = 3.0
lsb-graphics-ia64 = 2.0
lsb-graphics-ia64 = 3.0
lsb = 3.1-1.7

So the "lsb" package should provide the list above.

lsb-3.1-1.7

So the same "lsb" package on SLES10 provides lsb_release

This one may be a packaging issue at our end. We're providing an lsb-xvfb 
for the X/desktop tests now.

SLES10 does has an Xvfb:

sh-3.1# rpm -qf `which Xvfb`
xorg-x11-Xvfb-6.9.0-50.14

but the tests are setup to use the lsb one:

ftp://ftp.linux-foundation.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/beta/binary/distribution/lsb-xvfb-1.2.0-2.ia64.rpm

Hope this helps
