Not so. Or rather, not _quite_ so with regard to lsb_release reporting. My
up-to-date install (with all updates applied etc via apt ) shows

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
Release:        6.06
Codename:       dapper

So the "Description" field shows that it is 6.06.1 , as shown above.

Perhaps the OP does not have a full set of URLs in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
I would think he would need at least dapper-updates and dapper-security in
addition to main, restricted /et al/ .
