I use opensuse 15.4 iso to install a opensuse OS, but its /etc/os-release still shows it’s suse 15 sp4. How to conver all info from suse to opensuse, although it can read opensuse 15.4 repos and apply patches.
Here on openSUSE Leap 15.4:
> cat /etc/os-release
NAME="openSUSE Leap"
VERSION="15.4"
ID="opensuse-leap"
ID_LIKE="suse opensuse"
VERSION_ID="15.4"
PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Leap 15.4"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"

> rpm --query --whatprovides /etc/os-release
openSUSE-release-15.4-lp154.166.1.x86_64

In other words, you need to make sure that, you’ve installed the package “openSUSE-release”
> LANG=C zypper info openSUSE-release

It does not explain how someone got SUSE when installing openSUSE. At the very least we need to see
cat /etc/os-release
rpm -qif /etc/os-release
When you say “still shows” that means IMO that you had SUSE 15 SP 4 installed earlier. But when you installed openSUSE clean and fresh, not using any of the file systems from the old installation, it is impossible that your openSUSE installation iherited even one byte from the earlier installation… Thus you may elaborate a bit on what you mean with “I use openSUSE 15.4 ISO to install …”.
And, that there’s possibly a SUSE S.A. repository in the list of repositories being used –
- I’m assuming that, OP has a valid SUSE contract which may well explain the issue.
