Website link for Debian 9 - Backports links to buster instead of stretch

[Stat_help]

Solution: change the following line
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main

to

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main

Hi,

Where did you see that link?

I couldn’t find it on letsencrypt.org (https://github.com/letsencrypt/website)

Thanks!

I think it might be the fact that https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/debianstretch-other links to https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ .

The Debian website, in turn, only shows instructions for stable (Buster) backports, not oldstable (Stretch).

I think users are expected to read between the lines and adjust the distro name to whatever they are running.

I remember another thread complaining about the exact same thing.
