If not, show the message. did it install lsb-base? if it did install lsb-base and then it wants to reinstall 5.0, then you should get the debs and put them on the system and reinstall them. Debian systems should only need to be reinstalled in very rare cases. But if its just for fun and learning, then by all means reinstall. But, takes notes on paper to make re-installs faster.
