Hi, all:
   Today I get sometime and finally solved this little problem. Here is what
I've done.

   1.I try to find all os-release file in my computer:

   > cd /
   > locate os-release

   then I get the output as:

   /compat/linux/etc/centos-release
   /compat/linux/etc/centos-release-upstream
   /compat/linux/etc/os-release
   /compat/linux/usr/lib/os-release
   /compat/linux/usr/share/centos-release
   /compat/linux/usr/share/centos-release/EULA
   /compat/linux/usr/share/doc/centos-release
   /compat/linux/usr/share/doc/centos-release/Contributors
   /compat/linux/usr/share/doc/centos-release/GPL
   /etc/os-release
   /etc/rc.d/os-release
   /usr/local/etc/os-release
   /usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/share/man/man5/os-release.5.gz
   /usr/ports/sysutils/etc_os-release
   /usr/ports/sysutils/etc_os-release/Makefile
   /usr/ports/sysutils/etc_os-release/pkg-descr
   /usr/share/man/man5/os-release.5.gz
   /usr/src/libexec/rc/rc.d/os-release
   /usr/src/share/man/man5/os-release.5
   /var/db/etcupdate/current/etc/os-release
   /var/db/etcupdate/current/etc/rc.d/os-release
   /var/run/os-release

   2. It seems only 4 files looks related with the bug
   /etc/os-release
   /etc/rc.d/os-release
   /usr/local/etc/os-release
   /var/run/os-release
   so I `cat` them one by one, and find the 12.1-p10 comes from
/usr/local/etc/os-release, which means this file have not been upgraded after I
upgrade the system from 12.1 to 12.2.

   3. Solve the problem
   After I overwrite the /usr/local/etc/os-release by /etc/os-release, now the
kinfocenter dialog can gives right version.

   4. still confuse me
   Since the source code of plasma5 indicate that they read the release info.
only from "/etc/os-release" and "/usr/lib/os-release", why my "/etc/os-release"
does not work and strangely read the "/usr/local/etc/os-release" file.

   5. recommendation
   I think it is better to remove the "/usr/local/etc/os-release" on future
releases, or add some automatic process to overwrite it after the user install
the world.
