I have executed do-release-upgrade on a 12.04 Ubuntu server system. The upgrade went fine, but the welcome screen still shows 14.04 instead of 14.04.1 (which I would expect). Looking at the lsb_release -a output, it shows the old version

 lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

Going deeper I have checked the /etc/lsb-release file and investigated what version of base-files package (to which this file "belongs") is installed. I've found out that my version is 7.2ubuntu5 whereas in my opinion it should be 7.2ubuntu5.1 as this version has correct release identification in the /etc/lsb-release file (and other files).

I suppose that the new version should have come with the do-release-upgrade, but it didn't for some reason. Moreover, apt does not offer the newer version, I do not know why.

Any ideas what went wrong?
