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/ .
