We have several Debian 9.5 servers.



However, just a few days after the officially release of Debian 9.6, I noticed that one of our servers had already automatically updated itself to Debian 9.6.



We have neither initiated any upgrades, nor have installed and do not use unattended-upgrades. All our Debian servers are cloned copies of the same server.



None of our other Debian servers have ever updated themselves before and indeed all our other Debian 9.5 servers still are Debian 9.5 servers.



How is this possible?

  • Are you absolutely sure you did not run an update between the release of 9.6 and now? Please edit your post to include the output of HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T " history | grep 'apt upgrade' you can change it to apt-get or aptitude depending on which one you use.

  • I did wonder if lsb_release -a was mis-reporting the version. uname -r says 4.9.0-5-amd64

  • Is there anything in /var/log/apt/history.log* or /var/log/dpkg.log* referring to an upgrade of base-files, specifically to version 9.9+deb9u6?

  • Hi Stephen. No, both log files contain the most recent entry on 24 September 2018 long before 10 November 2018 release date of Debian 9.6. Even then they only contain an entry for the removal of a redundant package. My source.list is: deb ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free deb security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
