[lmi] Debian buster changed its 'Version' value

[Greg Chicares]

Vadim--Now that 'buster' is the stable debian release, I've
installed it (from scratch, on its own partition).

$cat /etc/debian_version 
10.0

Today I happened to reboot it, so I figured I may as well do
an update and upgrade. I was surprised by the message on the
last line:

#apt-get update
...
Reading package lists... Done
N: Repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease' changed its 
'Version' value from '10.0' to '10.1'

I've never seen anything like that before, even though I had
upgraded 'stretch' from 9.0 through successive versions through
9.11 . Let me emphasize that I haven't upgraded the 'Suite'
(e.g., from 'testing' to 'stable'): this is a fresh installation
from a 'debian-10.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso' image.

What should I do about this?

(1) Ignore the message and forge blithely ahead? (I'm guessing
that the "N: " prefix means "iNformational".)

(2) Explicitly allow 'Version' upgrades?

| Probably, a new Debian Stable release has happened as you tried to

(3) Switch to 'apt'?

| You're not supposed to be using apt-get, use apt.

Really? (I thought they were recommending 'aptitude'.)

Below is '/etc/apt/sources.list'. Its first active line:
  deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib
looks very much like those on older partitions, e.g.:
  deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
  deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
(i.e., I've never previously written 'stable' there).
