I believe this is correct behavior, since you apparently have stable-proposed-updates in your sources.list; hybrids of distributions are currently* reported as the earlier, not the later, version. If you are running testing, you probably want testing-security in your sources.list instead of stable-proposed-updates. I am adding some code to dump out the data that lsb_release uses for its release detection into bug reports starting in lsb-release 3.2-16. Chris * Previously, hybrids were reported as the later distribution, but people who run testing and cherrypick from unstable using pins or APT::Default-Release got annoyed that lsb_release said they were running unstable (personally, I think the previous behavior was the correct one, but I can see their point). I apparently can't win. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
