I changed sources.list to point only to sid, then apt-get clean, then apt-get update, apt-get -u dist-upgrade. /etc/debian_version and /etc/issue still say I have 9.0. Can held back non-essential packages stonewall a dist-upgrade? mc and mc-lang 4.8.17 have been held back by me manually because 4.8.18 is broken.

The file /etc/issue belongs to package base-files (dpkg -S /etc/issue) There is no newer version of this package in sid than that of testing which is version 9.8. Therefore, you see "9.0" in /etc/issue. More helpful is apt-show-versions (from the package with the same name): $ apt-show-versions | grep unstable To find out if some packages are still upgradeable, order $ apt-show-versions -u Regards, jvp.

What is the boot console banner? Unstable is always named as "<testing>/sid", even with a minimal stable installation followed by immediate upgrade to unstable. The version number will always be that of testing, unstable doesn't have its own number. Also try a grep for distro in /var/log/messages. There should be a 90linux-distro: result: line. But if the sources.list contains only unstable or sid, that's what you will get. Once you've done an update, apt doesn't know about the testing repositories any more. Until the freeze, most packages will be the same in sid as in testing, generally anything that survives without major breakage in sid for about ten days gets moved on. Did you get a larger than normal upgrade when you did the dist-upgrade? Make an upgrade now and note any changed version: check with the Debian packages search to see which distribution the new one comes from. -- Joe
