And here, You can see it for Yourself:

$ lsb_release -sd
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS

###

1)
I wonder, if the sources.list and its priorities are still correct…?

2)
How could I check this?

Greetings

I have the same issue and even questioned the sources.list in a recent thread I made. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=138867
lsb_release -sd
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
inxi -F
Host: xxxxxxxx Kernel: 4.4.0-63-generic x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.9.1 Distro: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial

Also, when I update via cli, I get all kinds of errors about particular lines and duplicates. Even though I removed all duplicates.
This did not start occurring until 2 days ago.

1)
This stated certainly after the upgrade to KDE Neon 5.9.
2)
This afternoon, one of the packages was 'base-files'.

a)
$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"
VERSION_ID="16.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
VERSION_CODENAME=xenial
UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial

b)
$ dpkg -S /etc/os-release
base-files: /etc/os-release

Another related issue:
GUI "Info Center" shows: Ubuntu 5.9

Greetings

Well, I have to say I'm rather irritated and annoyed that my OS now says Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS everywhere I look. Even in the menu where you can "search".
inxi -F use to report KDE Neon and now it says this: Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.9.1 Distro: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial.
Just even seeing the word Ubuntu is maddening to me. Ubuntu lost me when they adopted Unity and Canonical started moving in another direction. I moved to Mint, and have used/tried everything in between... Debian, Arch, Suse, Gentoo.... etc.
Anyways, I Love KDE Neon, and I want it to indicate Neon. My sources.list has changed, and by the looks of it, one of the updates we've received borked something.
Devs, can you fix this issue please?

ahhh.....that explains why screenfetch kept reporting ubuntu even though I downloaded the lastest screenfetch-dev which supports Neon

Same here...KinfoCenter reports I'm running Ubuntu 5.9

Same here This started today, after updates (one of the packages was 'base-files'). Now in Kinfocenter, i see that i am running Ubuntu 5.9....why this happens? I don't understand...
Command

Code: Select all

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04

Very annoying...

Just now, I updated 325 packages (that's the difference from yesterday to now).
But the problem is still there after reboot. Let's wait and see what comes next.

As soon as I read this I checked..... no updates Same complaint in Discover about "appstream", and errors about duplicate sources (there are none).
This is me being patient -.- lol -.-

Discover gives now a very, very short time message about broken appstream configuration, too.
That's a nice addition to have. Maybe, two negatives cancel each other out into something positive…

That was a little bit of sarcasm. But, of course, I wish the best to all people.
Just opening the pressure valve.

Problem solved with today updates. Now with command

Code: Select all

lsb_release -a

i see

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: neon
Description: KDE neon User Edition 5.9
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

Thank you, guys

Problem fixed by update of package 'base-files'.

Great. Thrice "Hurray" to the Maintainers!

Thank You.

I'll close this topic.

Greetings

Same. I got the update of base files.
Host: xxxxxxxx Kernel: 4.4.0-63-generic x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.9.1 Distro: neon 16.04 xenial

Thank you Devs!!!

To avoid such unpleasant issues just create file with any name in directory '/etc/apt/preferences.d' with such content:

Package: base-files
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: -10

It must prevent updating base-files from Ubuntu repos.
