Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Ok - a little bit of exploration - and its clear that both myself and john-bell (from his screenshot) are using gnome-shell, instead of unity

When I manually launch (unity-control-center) - the details tab declares that I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
When I launch gnome-control-center - which is what Gnome launches when I run through the gnome menus, the 'details' tab there declares that I am on 13.10.

So perhaps this bug's package should be changed to 'gnome-control-center'

Certainly explains the irregularity - and perhaps makes me feel at ease that the installation was not as borked as I thought it might have been

Looks like this bug has been fixed.

Checking on both unity-control-center and gnome-control-center both report Ubuntu 14.04 LTS now.

Closing as it's been resolved, and adjusting the package to gnome-control-center as thats the package that was actually displaying incorrectly.
