Ah damn, the "9.1" was a typo from me. I experimented with both
Stretch and the testing installations under VirtualBox.
My post was about "testing" which is now "buster", installed from:
 debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso

I wanted to experiment about how Debian testing works as a rolling
distro. I have read some people do it successfully. I have good
experiences of other rolling distros myself, namely Manjaro and
SparkyLinux.
SparkyLinux is based on Debian testing but it has no proper installer
with memory < 1GB. :(

Now having a rolling Debian is not the main issue, it is more about
problem solving. Why things don't work as advertised?

There was "buster" and I changed it to "testing" as advertised here:
 https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
It should be possible by all logic. Why isn't it? Can you reproduce
the problem? I am curious what exactly happens.
