`/etc/armbian-image-release` is not updated...

[umlaeute]

Back in the days, i've installed armbian on my "Odroid XU4".

those where the days when "buster" was still a thing.

 

In the meantime, I've updated the system (change apt repos; run 'apt full-upgrade'), and I'm now running "bookworm":

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Debian
Description:    Armbian 24.5.5 bookworm
Release:    12
Codename:    bookworm

 

unfortunately, /etc/armbian-image-release still thinks i'm running buster (and armbian-20.02.7):

i wouldn't mind very much, if the login-screen wouldn't scream everytime i log in:

Welcome to Armbian 24.5.5 *Buster* with Linux 6.6.31-current-odroidxu4
No end-user support: unsupported (buster) userspace!

 

I'm a bit mystified, why it wrongly says *Buster*, and at the same time reports the correct kernel and armbian version.

 

Anyhow: How can I fix this?

 

 

 

note: there's already a similar topic here (from 2 years ago), but since it is so old, i was asked to start a new thread:

i'm also a bit mystified, what the motd says *buster* and at the same time correctly reports the armbian and kernel version

Armbian kernel can be used on any userspace, but we only sent kernel updates to supported ones. Buster is EOL by Debian.

 

Can you provide:

armbianmonitor -u

so we know more about your image.

 

You are probably running Buster BSP package. That is not replace with upgrade.

also, i would have guessed that `lsb_release -a` would show me the userland.

 

'bash' seems to come from bookworm as well:
