Hi Everyone! I inherited some Debian servers running 7 wheezy and am upgrading to 8 jessie. During apt-get upgrade (after setting /etc/apt/sources.list to jessie) I get a less command displaying changelogs as seen below with the first package being nagios-nrpe. I also get a list of packages during apt-get dist-upgrade.
Following the same procedure on another server did not display these unstable/experimental packages. However, checking /var/cache/apt/archives I don't see the unstable and experimental versions that the changlog is referring to. Where is the changelog seeing these versions? dpkg -l before and after upgrade returns the versions that are stable for both releases, matching the other server that did not display any changelogs. I'd like to understand why it's displaying these and whether the server has unstable packages before and after upgrading. Thank you for your help! Andrew ...

Done nagios-nrpe (2.15-1) unstable; urgency=high This update disables the command-args support in nrpe. The feature has several security problems and is often used wrong.
