I have updated packages many times after 12.1 release, but I still have 12.0 in debian_version file. I tried to install today printer drivers but it couldn’t get the latest libcupsimage2 2.4.2-3 library on the server although there is 2.4.2-5 already.

How to fix the version? Is it possible that it breaks cupsimage installation?

So 12.1 is out but have you upgraded any of your packages yet? The /etc/debian_version file comes from the base-files package. On my up to date system, it’s showing 12.1 in the file and the package version is 12.4+deb12u1 as I can see from dpkg -l base-files.

Make sure to do an apt update and then do an apt upgrade -s to do a dry-run to see what packages would be upgraded. I’m guessing the base-files package hasn’t been updated.
