Updated Debian 9: 9.2 released
October 7th, 2017
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:
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.
