# cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
VERSION_CODENAME=stretch
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

This breaks all kind of (automation) software as they wrongly identify UCS systems as Debian. This is also visible on every boot where "$PRETTY_NAME" is displayed.

See <man:os-release(1)>. Basically it replaces base/univention-base-files/conffiles/etc/lsb-release.


base/univention-base-files/conffiles/etc/os-release:

PRETTY_NAME="Univention Corporate Server @%@version/version@%@"
NAME="Univention Corporate Server"
VERSION_ID="@%@version/version@%@"
VERSION="@%@version/version@%@ (@%@version/releasename@%@)"
VERSION_CODENAME="@%@version/releasename@%@"

ID_LIKE="debian"

CODENAME should no longer be set since UCS-5 with Bug #51460.
