  I recently bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed in it. Looks
  like it came with Ubuntu 20.04.2 and OEM Linux Kernel in it. After my
  initial login (on October 1, 2021), the 'Software Updater' GUI
  prompted me for updates, which I went ahead with.

  However at the end of it, I noticed that I was still at 20.04.2 with
  Linux Kernel at 5.10.0-1045-oem.

  Then I manually tried sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade / dist-
  upgrade from the terminal, but nothing got upgraded. When I invoked
  the GUI 'Software Updater' again, it showed me that my system was
  already up-to-date. However, as 20.04.3 was released end of Aug 2021,
  I was expecting that I should be at that release after my initial
  updates.

  Since that didn't happen, I asked a question regarding this in
  askubuntu followed by launchpad
  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/698949, thinking my
  update had failed for some unknown reason.

  However, based on some inputs from other users, we were able to narrow
  down the problem to /usr/lib/os-release file not having the right
  contents in it. Every other file including /usr/lib/os-release.oem-
  release, /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net specifies that I am on 20.04.3.
  Whereas only /usr/lib/os-release (and its symlink /etc/release)
  specifies my current release as 20.04.2.

  Even the lsb_release -a command always displays the output of
  /usr/lib/os-release file only.

It looks like it is this platform:

But I don't see any packages called oem-release or where they came from.

Dear reporter, what's the output of:

?

  I recently bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed in it. Looks
  like it came with Ubuntu 20.04.2 and OEM Linux Kernel in it. After my
  initial login (on October 1, 2021), the 'Software Updater' GUI
  prompted me for updates, which I went ahead with.

  However at the end of it, I noticed that I was still at 20.04.2 with
  Linux Kernel at 5.10.0-1045-oem.

2021-10-07 Thread Vivek
@Steve, thank you for looking into this. If this is not a base-files
issue, where could the problem be? I have not installed any other
package myself. This is just the Ubuntu installation that the laptop
came with.

As an end user I am unable to see whether upgrade to 20.04.3 is
successful or not. Clearly lsb_release is not saying so.

You have an OEM-specific package installed that diverts /usr/lib/os-
release and replaces the contents.  The fact that this file has not
changed when base-files changed is not a bug in base-files.
