Debian 9 no new updates
Hello guys,
I have a problem on my desktop running Debian 9 with Gnome. I have not received any new package updates in over 1 month. I run apt clean all && apt update and I still get no new updates and this has been going for over 1 month. Any ideas what is wrong?

Re: Debian 9 no new updates
Can you copy and paste your sources list here, so we can look at it, please?
Re: Debian 9 no new updates
Running apt update only refreshes your packages list but doesn't do any actual updates.
You need to add apt upgrade and even apt dist-upgrade to perform an actual package update.
For Debian 9, you could even do it without the system stopping and asking for permission:
I wouldn't recommend that for Debian Testing or Debian Sid.

Code: Select all
apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade
Code: Select all
apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y dist-upgrade

I also do that, but after I run apt update than apt list --upgradable shows 0 new updatesBloom wrote:Running apt update only refreshes your packages list but doesn't do any actual updates.

Re: Debian 9 no new updates
To begin with, Debian Stable does not get regular updates. It does get security fixes as needed. It does not get upgrades. (Yes there was one notable exception due to a mistake.) Consequently, all one needs to do is:
Of course, do it as root. su and root password.
As to sources, most of us do not need source packages so the deb-src lines can be #'d out. Also, it is unlikely that you will get any changes to your contrib and non-free packages so you can # those too.

Re: Debian 9 no new updates
As others have said, Stable does not get many updates - because it is Stable.
Your sources list does not too bad. But why...
1) The top line refers to "it" Italy and the other lines refer to the US Where is your location?
2) Do you need multiarch? For what purpose?
3) Security only has main. There are no contrib and non-free

https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTOArch-qualifying deb-src lines doesn't make any sense.

Re: Debian 9 no new updates
There have been a few security upgrades in the last month. I maintain a record of them here, just copy/paste from the security mailing list - http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index ... 37&st=1350silvi.kolumcaj wrote:Ok thanks, it just seemed strange to me that I haven received any updates in more than one month
It will help to run apt update && apt upgrade and post here what output shows from your console.
I imagine there would be a logfile for that.pylkko wrote:Also, if you are using GNOME as a desktop environment, according to the Debian wiki, unattended updates is installed by default

Re: Debian 9 no new updates
Hi,
I had the same question with kde/debian. Finally it seems that this behavior is normal for the 'stable' version.
Some usefull comments are in the thread http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=135397

Re: Debian 9 no new updates
There are two ways to get security patches on Debian, either as a collection with the point release, which are published about every two months, or one by one as they come by adding the repository for this to apt. Either way you will eventually get all the same security fixes.
