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 ?

Thanks!
