Make backup of your sources.list: cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backupĬhange to stretch sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list Before you move to the next part, it is recommended to fix all issues produced by both above commands. Packages On Hold will not be upgraded, which may cause inconsistencies after Stretch upgrade. If no issues are reported, check what packages are held back: apt-mark showhold If everything went smoothly, perform database sanity and consistency checks for partially installed, missing and obsolete packages: dpkg -C If you are however looking to go from Debian 8 to 9. If you successfully complete the commands you listed, everything should be up to date and considered the newest stable version. Even though Ubuntu is Debian based, it is constantly being updated and things are getting tweaked day to day sometimes. However, as a result, the software that Debian uses and that is in its repo's are slightly older, than those in say, Ubuntu. It enjoys great stability when installed, on supported hardware. The Debian operating system is not bleeding edge.
