After upgrading my laptop from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 21.10 using the command # update-manager -c
it appears that my OS thinks it is still in 20.04. Now it tells me that it can do the update to Ubuntu 21.10 which I've previously done. I'm already on that version. If I do the update, I get a fail message but no explanation.

The content of usr/lib/os-release file is the same as this one.
It's the about section of Ubuntu settings. As we can see, GNOME updates well but the OS name is still in 20.04.

If someone has an idea to fix this, I would really appreciate it.
dist-upgrade
had the same effect for me (without the bugs, that is), after I enabled updating to non-LTS versions in the settings. – HolyBlackCat Jun 21 '22 at 19:09dist-upgrade
though confuses me; as it won't perform any release-upgrades type features; and I'd too stick to official Ubuntu upgrade documentation (not 3rd party blogs) – guiverc Jun 21 '22 at 22:59sudo apt update
and read the output ensuring it all looks what you'd expect for a focal or 20.04 system, then assuming it looked good with no warnings or missing lines (I may also check mirror if you're using one & switch to main archive, but optional), I'd then performsudo apt full-upgrade
to see if all packages available are installed and let them install (I may switch off mirror if you're uisng one to main archive if nothing seen) – guiverc Jun 21 '22 at 23:03
