That's simply not possible... Both PRETTY_NAME and NAME come from the etc/os-release template in the source code (which you can get by doing "apt-get source base-files"), and the template reads like this: PRETTY_NAME="#OSNAME# forky/sid" NAME="#OSNAME#" So, unless you changed the file by hand, or allowed a program to change the file, those two fields should be the same. Moreover, you can see how the latest version of the package was built here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=base-files&arch=hurd-amd64&ver=14.2&stamp=1780222272&raw=0 Quote: sed -e "s&#OSNAME#&Debian GNU/Hurd&g" etc/os-release > debian/base-files/etc/os-release Can you "apt-get download base-files" and examine the actual .deb package distributed by Debian, not the file /etc/os-release in your system? Thanks.
