looking at http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/ shows that the
"jessie-backports" folder does not exist any longer. Maybe
"stable-backports" does the job ? (by the way, I never understood why
these version-names are preferred over functional-names like "stable",
"testing", etc in the apt files). If you need to install some of the
backports you may try this in /etc/apt/sources.list -- you may also
remove the "jessie-backports" form your apt files and it will work
(unless you need backports, of course :)
stable-backports is stretch-backports.
One reason NOT to use functional-names is that when the next release
comes, "stable-backports" then points at backports for the new release,
as this example shows.
I always advocate using version names(for everything).
Shame that Qubes templates use formal numbering.
OK, agreed. Maybe it is time to switch to buster then. I cloned testwise
a debian-9 and replaced stretch by buster in /etc/apt-sources.list, but
I cannot dist-upgrade since it says "not enough space ...". Is there a
trick? I did apt-get clean already! Thank you, unman.
