Package: base-files
Version: 10.3+devuan3.4
I'm using devuan beowulf, but some utilities, like screenfetch or
lsb_release, think it's debian. For example:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (beowulf)
Release: 3
Codename: beowulf
I think we need
ID=devuan
in /usr/lib/os-release.
Cheers,

Thanks for this.
This is a conscious decision in beowulf as a work around for various debian bugs
that couldn't be resolved in other ways.
For ceres and chimaera this has already been changed. See

We are testing whether we can change this for the first point release of
beowulf. An updated base-files package is available in the
beowulf-proposed-updates suite or directly from the pool[1]. Please would you
test it and report success or any new issues.
Thanks.

I think this version it's Ok; screenfetch and lsb_release now report the
correct distribution. Even (after updating grub), grub prints "Devuan
GNU/Linux" at boot.
