I just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS from 20.04 LTS

The upgrade has not aborted and the differences with previous version are evident.

Yet, this is what I get

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (fossa-cory-tgl X59)
Release:    20.04
Codename:   focal

I tried a do-release-upgrade again and I get

Can someone please explain what might have happened and how to fix it ?

    (fossa-cory-tgl X59) it is some custom build, so it is off-topic here.

    Then you should address this question to Dell support. Another option is to do a fresh install of vanilla 22.04.

it was easier than I thought I just uninstalled lsb_release

sudo apt remove lsb-release
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove

and then installed it again

sudo apt install lsb-release

now 22.04 is correctly reported:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release:    22.04
Codename:   jammy
