I have updated packages many times after 12.1 release, but I still have 12.0 in debian_version file. I tried to install today printer drivers but it couldn’t get the latest libcupsimage2 2.4.2-3 library on the server although there is 2.4.2-5 already.

How to fix the version? Is it possible that it breaks cupsimage installation?

    I’m not aware of a way to lock an entire system to a major.minor version with Debian, only holding individual packages. What exact version is your base-files? The full string matters.

    You could check to see if anything is held with apt-mark showhold.

    It is possible that the mirror you have in your sources.list file stopped syncing so to your system is looks like it has no updates. What mirror is your system pointed at?

      I’m using http://deb.debian.org/debian mirror, but I was surprised that it didn’t download files with apt-get update command. I removed /var/lib/apt/lists directory, and it worked and upgraded to 12.1 :).
