    I have no idea what you are asking. – Panther Sep 30 '14 at 16:29
  • when i do a cat /etc/issue i get 12.04.4 LTS does this mean the patch level is at 4 because of the .4 ? – Paul Hurst Sep 30 '14 at 16:31
  • no, that means it is 12.04.04, I have no idea what a "patch level" is you are asking about – Panther Sep 30 '14 at 16:31
  • i am requried to be at patch level 4 on ubuntu 12.04 for an application to be supported but from what i can tell there is no way to determine the patch level past the .4 – Paul Hurst Sep 30 '14 at 16:32

    Can you cite or provide a link to those prerequisites? Maybe you're misinterpreting something. – David Foerster Sep 30 '14 at 16:41

    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server Edition (64-bit), patch level 4 or later. The saucy or later kernel is also required – Paul Hurst Sep 30 '14 at 16:47
  • When i do a /etc/lsb-release -a here is my results DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS" – Paul Hurst Sep 30 '14 at 16:48
  • So i took a clone of the virtual server in discussion and performed the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, upon completion of the updates my /etc/lsb-release shows the version as 12.04.5 LTS this would indicate to me that the .x is a patch level more than a subversion. – Paul Hurst Sep 30 '14 at 20:50
  • so what is a patch level? who is asking for this? – Mateo Oct 01 '14 at 01:08

You can find the current revision number or patch level in /etc/lsb-release and /etc/issue. As far as I can tell, that's what the application prerequisites refer to, because that's the only sub-release versioning scheme of Ubuntu.
