stretch
." For example:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
When done, save and close the file.
2. Update the apt sources list by executing the following command:
apt-get
upgrade
3. Upgrade previously installed packages by executing the following command:
apt-get
-V upgrade
4. Upgrade any packages that may have been held back in the previous step by ex-
ecuting the following command:
apt-get
dist-upgrade
Note
Refer to the Linux Debian user documentation to determine the differences be-
tween
