[Bug 1535129] Re: gnome-control-center says that I am running 16.04 when in fact I am running 15.10

 

This is just consmetic, since the gnome-control-center package on the
PPA is a direct backport from Xenial. The actual value is hardcoded at
build time, and doesnt actually represent your system.

`lsb-release -a` is the proper way to check your distro version
