/etc/debian_version : jessie/sid which is what one might expect: that's the Debian version that this ubuntu release is based on. (Putting the Debian point-release here would be meaningless.) But ubuntu does not employ a /etc/ubuntu_version file, so os-release and lsb-release are reasonable alternative locations for indicating their point-release. Regardless, I can't see any error in the quotation of Andrew M.A. Cater that was made by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard (who seemed to be putting words into his mouth). -rw-r--r-- 105 Aug 1 08:48 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/lsb-release -rw-r--r-- 267 Feb 19 2014 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/legal -rw-r--r-- 26 Aug 1 09:04 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/issue -rw-r--r-- 19 Aug 1 09:04 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/issue.net -rw-r--r-- 11 Feb 19 2014 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/debian_version -rw-r--r-- 249 Aug 1 09:04 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/os-release -rw-r--r-- 82 Feb 19 2014 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/dpkg/origins/debian -rw-r--r-- 114 Feb 19 2014 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu -rw-r--r-- 92 Feb 19 2014 /tmp/base-files_7.2ubuntu5.5_i386/etc/host.conf Cheers, David.
