Greetings to the Debian LTS team :) Since the published date of the Debian LTS Advisory (DLA-2743-1), to this point in time, the upgraded package fails to be discovered by "aptitude update". My investigation has found that the expected upgraded package, "amd64-microcode_3.20181128.1~deb9u1_amd64.deb", is missing from: https://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/non-free/a/amd64-microcode/ Also, the package list shown below has not been updated since 09 July, 2021: https://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/stretch/updates/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages.xz Are you able to advise me on the actual status of this upgrade? I welcome your feedback on this matter. My kindest regards, BRN.
