Subject: still Debian 9.1 because of ignoring "stretch-updates" (and security patches)?
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2017 10:17:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f863791e-4fc8-1874-7f45-75d3ec1cb594@siemens.com> (raw)

Hi there!

I was quite confused why our Isar version still gives me a Debian 9.1
image (according to /etc/debian_version) while Debian 9.2 is released
more than a month ago.

I finally found that we currently only install packages from
distribution "stretch" which has nearly all packages from 9.2, but still
provides old "base-files" including debian_version from 9.1.

(I installed against deb.debian.org, not our internal mirror.)

After adding "stretch-updates" to sources.list, I got updates of only
two packages: "base-files" and "tzdata" - et voilà, we have Debian 9.2.

After additionally adding "stretch/updates" from security.debian.org, I
got updates to openssl, dnsmasq and wget.

While still being puzzled why Debian adds this layer of confusion to the
world, we should probably honor this and give the user an up-to-date
image from all three sources, no?

Or did we make some mistake in Isar setup?
