ddurdle Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I've been using debian on all my systems for a long time. On my x86 and x64 systems, debian_version always gets updated after dist-upgrades and upgrades. It has never been the case for my embedded boards running armbian jessie. I tried to research into what actually does the trigger, but I can't find any details. When I log in, my splashscreen confirms there are no new updates (I updated this morning). It's still showing 8.0 in /etc/debian_version. I expect to see /etc/debian_version reflect 8.4 Any ideas? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists...

Temar Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 $ dpkg -S /etc/debian_version base-files: /etc/debian_version Looks like debian_version gets updated when the package "base-files" is updated. $ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' '*' | grep debian_version /etc/debian_version 901275afdd9278ae23c429033a63d04e $ md5sum /etc/debian_version 901275afdd9278ae23c429033a63d04e /etc/debian_version At least on my system no other script touched that file.

Thank you, this post was very helpful. I did a apt-cache show base-files and it showed there were two versions with the on for 8 taking precedence over 8+deb8u7. So I ran apt-get install base-files=8+deb8u7 I'll check through and see what other packages this is happening.
