Package        : linux-base
Version        : 4.5~deb8u1
Debian Bug     : 702482 761614

The linux-base package has been updated to support the package of
Linux 4.9 that was recently added to Debian 8.  This resolves a
dependency that was not satisfiable by the jessie and jessie-security
suites.

This update also fixes a bug in version ordering in the linux-version
command, corrects the package name printed by the perf command when
linux-perf-4.9 is needed, and adds bash-completion support for the
perf command.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", the new version is 4.5~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-base packages.
