Hi,

Unfortunately, the official Debian stretch do not support powerpc[1] and
therefore it is not possible to upgrade.

If your system is compatible with the "ppc64el" architecture (64bit
little endian powerpc), you may be able reinstall your system as a
ppc64el.  Alternatively, there are also other powerpc variants on
debian-ports[2], which hosts Debian on "non-release" architectures.

Thanks,
~Niels
