Bug Description

Binary package hint: yelp

In an Ubuntu Desktop Edition login session on a Maverick i386 machine with yelp package version 2.30.1-0ubuntu1, when I go to System > About Ubuntu, the page for Natty comes up. It begins: "You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012."

This is really a Maverick system. The output of "lsb_release -rd" is:

Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

And the /etc/apt/sources.list file (attached) is normal for a Maverick system.

I don't know what is causing this issue. On other Maverick boxes I've used, "About Ubuntu" does not falsely state that the distribution is Natty. If there's any more useful information I can send, please let me know.

I believe the problem is actually in 'ubuntu-docs' as I indicated in bug 690248 or at least reverting 'ubuntu-docs' to version 10.10.3 displays the proper info.
