Does this mean the following needs to be done:Updated Debian 9: 9.2 released press@debian.org wrote:As a special case for this point release, those using the "apt-get" tool
to perform the upgrade will need to ensure that the "dist-upgrade"
command is used, in order to update to the latest kernel packages. Users
of other tools such as "apt" and "aptitude" should use the "upgrade"
command.
Miscellaneous Bugfixes
----------------------
Due to an oversight while preparing the point release, the usual
update to the "base-files" package to reflect the new version was
unfortunately not included. An updated package will be made available
via "stretch-updates" in the near future.
1) Make sure you use a debian mirror, as in:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep 'debian stretch contrib main"
Code: Select all
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch contrib main
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
When I do that, I see (as mentioned), no base-files package update. Does that matter, or is this message really premature, and a full and safe upgrade is not possible at all until the next "stretch-update" in the near future, as stated?
