This procedure also assumes your system has been updated to the latest
point release of stretch. If you have not done this or are unsure,
follow the instructions in Section A.1, “Upgrading your stretch
system”.
Admittedly, it's a bit hard to find if you're only skimming, but you
should be reading the full release notes before upgrading.

services (dbus) require a reboot to restart them. And of course, you'll
still be on the oldold...stable kernel until you reboot.
