Public bug reported:

After a dist-upgrade from 20.04 to 20.10, the login screen displays the
new wallpaper "Groovy Gorilla", but the version ID (in the bottom left
corner) is the old one.

However, the /etc/os-release est up-to-date :
$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.10 (Groovy Gorilla)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
