On a Debian 9 machine: $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="9" VERSION="9 (stretch)" ID=debian ... On a fully up-to-date Debian testing machine: $ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" ID=debian ... So clearly the Debian project doesn't consider it to be something that can be called "Debian 10" (or even "Debian 10 alpha") quite yet. Unstable distributions are in a different ballpark entirely, since they're designed to be in a constant state of flux and expectations for users are clearly defined accordingly. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
