Hello,

I was running the version 2016.12 of LAVA. I did a simple install on my Debian Stretch Desktop but Debian stable releases of LAVA do not receive updates to LAVA directly. 

Today I installed lava-server from stretch-backports. I was expecting to get the 2018.2.1 version of LAVA as we can see here, but the update I got was lava-server 2017.7.1 and lava-dispatcher 2017.7.1.

As explained in the link you mentioned: lava-server version in stretch-backport is 2017.1

If you want to get the latest version, you should the production repository as explained here: https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html#lava-repositories

Regards
