Suggestions needed to upgrade Debian 7.8 to Debian 8.5 (Not 8.6)
Hello,
I need to upgrade my Debian system 7.8 to 8.5 but by default via apt-get It moves to 8.6 version(latest stable version). I'm new to Debian so didn't figure out the solution.
I've checked few suggestions over internet like editing apt source list file using snapshot archive.
Please suggest the steps that I should follow to achieve it.
Thank You!
Regards,

apt-key
APT-KEY(8) APT APT-KEY(8)
NAME
apt-key - APT key management utility
SYNOPSIS
apt-key [--keyring filename] [command] [arguments...]
DESCRIPTION
apt-key is used to manage the list of keys used by apt to authenticate packages. Packages which have been authenticated using these keys
will be considered trusted.
COMMANDS
add filename
Add a new key to the list of trusted keys. The key is read from filename, or standard input if filename is -.
del keyid
Remove a key from the list of trusted keys.
export keyid
Output the key keyid to standard output.
exportall
Output all trusted keys to standard output.
list
List trusted keys.
finger
List fingerprints of trusted keys.
adv
Pass advanced options to gpg. With adv --recv-key you can download the public key.
update
Update the local keyring with the archive keyring and remove from the local keyring the archive keys which are no longer valid. The
archive keyring is shipped in the archive-keyring package of your distribution, e.g. the debian-archive-keyring package in Debian.
net-update
Work similar to the update command above, but get the archive keyring from an URI instead and validate it against a master key. This
requires an installed wget(1) and an APT build configured to have a server to fetch from and a master keyring to validate. APT in
Debian does not support this command and relies on update instead, but Ubuntu's APT does.
OPTIONS
Note that options need to be defined before the commands described in the previous section.
--keyring filename
With this option it is possible to specify a specific keyring file the command should operate on. The default is that a command is
executed on the trusted.gpg file as well as on all parts in the trusted.gpg.d directory, through trusted.gpg is the primary keyring
which means that e.g. new keys are added to this one.
FILES
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg
Keyring of local trusted keys, new keys will be added here. Configuration Item: Dir::Etc::Trusted.
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
File fragments for the trusted keys, additional keyrings can be stored here (by other packages or the administrator). Configuration
Item Dir::Etc::TrustedParts.
/etc/apt/trustdb.gpg
Local trust database of archive keys.
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
Keyring of Debian archive trusted keys.
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg
Keyring of Debian archive removed trusted keys.
