@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 received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946343 Title: Stale os-release file after possible upgrade from 20.04.2 to 20.04.3 Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Refer: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/698949 I recently bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed in it.
