Public bug reported: 1) according to lsb_release I'm using 12.04.4 but I'm actually on 12.04.5 (kernel 3.13.0-30-generic #55~precise1-Ubuntu, 64-bit), that's actually what this bug report is about
2) base-files: 6.5ubuntu6.7 3) I just updated to 12.04.5 (not too painful process, but I did it through synaptic because I had some trouble since I was using the quantal kernel, see at the end for more details). Expected result: lsb_release indicates 12.04.5 4) lsb_release still indicates 12.04.4. More details: running commands $ lsb_release -a or $ cat /etc/*release still show 12.04.4 as the version, although the command: $ hwe-support-status --verbose returns: "Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until avril 2017." which means that it detects properly that I'm using trusty HWE Stack (i.e. kernel 3.13 and package xserver-xorg-lts-trusty) my bug report is that I suppose both /etc/lsb-release and /etc/os- release should reflect this somehow, but it doesn't and no update is currently proposed for the "base-files" package. A bit of background on the "not-too-painful" update, just to be sure it's not the cause of this issue: since I was using xserver-xorg-lts-quantal stack (kernel 3.5) the direct update from 12.04.4 to .5 didn't work (I had this kind of error: http://askubuntu.com/questions/493541/hardware-enablement-stack-hwe-out- of-support) So, through synaptic, I simply switched back to xserver-xorg-lts-precise stack (as suggested on some forum/askslashdot posts, cannot remember where exactly) and then I could install xserver-xorg-lts-trusty and all dependencies that followed, with first an uninstall of xserver-xorg-lts- precise and some other packages (and wine for some reason). I restarted and booted fine on kernel 3.13: $ uname -a Linux laptop 3.13.0-30-generic #55~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 4 21:52:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux update manager then proposed some further updates (notably to virtualbox 4.2) but did not propose anymore the HWE Stack update. So is it a secondary issue of my non-conventional update process (through synaptic and not update manager) or is it simply that the package base-files needs an update of the file to reflect the new version 12.04.5 ?
