Without that I look at the contents of /etc/debian_version where the official Debian version is stored. $ cat /etc/debian_version 8.1 When I am on a foreign system I tend to also look at the release configured in /etc/apt/sources.list too. Because sometimes people do non-standard things there and it gives more details. But it is harder to describe and document. It looks that your system with 8.0 and not 8.1 is behind by the one point release which was released earlier this month. https://www.debian.org/News/2015/20150606 It could very well be that you are current from the security repository which is treated separately. But AFAIK security upgrades always assume the latest point release and are layered on top of them. Bob
