I find these searches very difficult to interpret. Perhaps I need to immerse myself in the terminology and mechanisms behind aptitude etc. $ aptitude search ~Ajessie~i | wc -l 185 $ aptitude search ~Astable~i | wc -l 2316 $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list # jessie # the word above is the name my functions etc use for the distribution because # lsb_release can be unreliable and slow when running an unreleased distribution. # one hash, one space, one word, end of line. # Original installation from ... # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20110205-17:27]/ squeeze main # ... but upgraded to wheezy when it was still testing. # ... then upgraded to jessie when it was still testing. deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free # $ No trace of the word "stable" in my sources.list and never has been, unless the squeeze CD originally wrote it there before I changed it almost straight away.
