Re: Security Updates



Your Raspberry Pi is most likely running Raspbian and not Debian. Raspbian's updates must be ported by their development team when Debian releases them. At one time they claimed the lag was about a half day to a day behind being released by Debian.

This page <https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/errata> states:

    "If you use APT, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list to be able

    deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

    After that, run apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade."

Adding that entry to /etc/apt/sources.list on the Raspberry Pi3 running Debian
Jessie results in an error message indicating that the public key is not found.
It also finds two libraries that require updating that are not found when the
above mentioned /etc/apt/sources.list entry is removed.

  1.  What do I need to do to prevent the error message?

  2.  As there are other security related URLs (doubtless, as
  distributed/released) that are checked during apt-get update, is the
  recommended additional entry advisable/useful for this platform?
