I installed two virtual machines running Devuan jessie and upgraded both to Devuan ascii

rppt@devuan1:/# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Devuan
Description: Devuan GNU/Linux testing/unstable
Release: testing/unstable
Codename: n/a


root@devuan2:/# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Devuan
Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 (ascii)
Release: 2.0

I'm guessing the output for devuan2 is correct?  How do I fix devuan1 to show 
the correct output?

Both machines have the same identical contents for /etc/os-release, 
/etc/debian_version, and /etc/devuan_version.

The output of  'lsb_release -a' is defined in the 'base-files' package. So, for the same version of the package, you should get the same output. The command needs the 'lsb-base' package to work, i think.

Cheers,
