Having now actually checked, this is not the case! That host does have version 10.3+deb10u10 of base-files (the latest), so I don't know why its /etc/os-files shows VERSION_ID="10" or even if that is normal. Does yours have that? The only lsb-related packages installed are lsb-base and lsb-release. Sorry, this is going off at a bit of a tangent now, but I am interested in why your ansible_distribution_version comes back as 10.10 here! By the way, on a freshly installed Debian 11 (bullseye) host, I also see: $ head -3 /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="11" and that one also returns just "11" for ansible_distribution_version. So as I say, in certain configurations on Debian it seems normal to not have a decimal point in ansible_distribution_version.
