Re: [Bug 329648] Re: About Ubuntu page fails to report Ubuntu release info
Dear Drew, Many thanks for this, I'll give it a try tonight when I'm home. Regards, Graham Cross On Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:57 +, R.

Use Synaptic (or probably any other apt/dpkg set of tools that you like) to remove and reinstall yelp, ubuntu-doc, ubuntu-desktop and gnome-user-guide, then reboot and the problem is solved. I wonder if there's a gentler solution like just reinstalling yelp or some such.

I'm using Jaunty, and it correctly says: Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April 2009. When I last used Intrepid, it said a similar thing.
