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. Is 
this why I don't seem to have sid?
