Dear all,

after receiving the email in the        debian-stable-announce announcing of 
the package tzdata in  jessie-updates,
I realize that I do not get the upgrade of what is announced in both 
jessie-updates and jessie-proposed-updates.

I have checked and I have these 4 lines in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb   http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src   http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-proposed-updates main contrib 
non-free

When I do  aptitude update I get lines like these

Get: 6 http://ftp.debian.org jessie-updates/main i386 Packages/DiffIndex [1,504 
B]

Get: 12 http://ftp.debian.org jessie-proposed-updates/main Sources/DiffIndex 
[27.8 kB]

Get: 15 http://ftp.debian.org jessie-proposed-updates/main i386 
Packages/DiffIndex [27.8 kB]

but when I do aptitude safe-upgrade I do not get the upgrade announced. I get 
the upgrades announced in the security and
many upgrades when there is a new scheduled release, but I do not get any 
upgrades when they are announced to came from the stable-updates archive or the 
stable-proposed-updates.

I have tried to change the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list so that they became 
exactly identical to the instruction in the announcing mail (removing contrib 
non-free, so that it became deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-updates 
main), but with no result.

The computer is very old and it has used many older version of debian.
I looked at various config file in /etc/apt but I do not have found anything 
strange there

In the past the same system used the volatile mechanism when it was available, 
and at that time the volatile mechanism worked correctly.

What should I fix?

Thanks in advance

A Fascilla
