I think I might have a problem. I do the sudo apt-get update and then sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade and ever since I have installed Debian 9 (after the
official release) I have not seen any updates.



Here is my sources.list:

# Security

Hmm.  Well, that looks correct.


Am I really missing any updates?


Probably the easiest to check is the kernel.  If you're on amd64, and
if you're truly up to date on stretch fixes, then you should have:

linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64  4.9.30-2+deb9u2


Here's what's on the system:

ravenlx@hpg7:~$ uname -r
4.9.0-3-amd64


Note that +deb9u1 and +deb9u2 were quite close together.  +deb9u2
reverted the "stack guard gap" fix from +deb9u1 and replaced it with a
different fix that didn't cause regressions.

If you really aren't getting updates when you run "apt-get update", and
there are no errors, then I'm not sure how to diagnose this.


Me neither. No errors at all:

ravenlx@hpg7:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for ravenlx:

Reading package lists... Done

All looks good.

So maybe these security updates are for the older versions??
