I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, however when going into the Details section of the gnome-control-center it tells me just under the logo that I am running 16.04, though it then below says Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit (I have put a black box on the some of the information that I do not wish to be shown):



enter image description here



This is very strange, so I am wondering why this is the case? I am not running 16.04, so why does it say that I am?



Information Update:



The output of lsb_release -a is:



No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Release: 15.10
Codename: wily


And the output of apt-cache policy base-files gnome-shell is:

Ubuntu 15.10 still comes with Gnome 3.16 by default.



GNOME 3.18 is the one that will be released (at the time of this writing) with Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, and gnome-control-center is directly backported from 16.04 on the GNOME 3 Staging PPAs with the Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 logo patched into it at build time.
