  • Updated Debian 9: 9.2 released (1/2)

    From =?utf-8?Q?C=C3=A9dric?= Boutillier@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 7 17:20:01 2017
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Debian Project https://www.debian.org/ Updated Debian 9: 9.2 released [email protected] October 7th, 2017 https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20171007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its
    stable distribution Debian 9 (codename "stretch"). This point release
    mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few
    adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories have already been published separately and are referenced where available.

    Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of
    Debian 9 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no
    need to throw away old "stretch" media. After installation, packages can
    be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.

    Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
    to update many packages, and most such updates are included in the point release.

    New installation images will be available soon at the regular locations.

    Upgrading an existing installation to this revision can be achieved by
    pointing the package management system at one of Debian's many HTTP
    mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:

    https://www.debian.org/mirror/list


    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.

    This stable update adds a few important corrections to the following
    packages:
