From https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/205202560-EdgeRouter-Add-Debian-Packages-to-EdgeOS
The underlying Debian distribution has been upgraded from Wheezy to Stretch in the v2.0.0 EdgeOS firmware release. This means that the Debian repository used between EdgeOS v2.0.0 and older firmware versions is different.
EdgeOS v2.0.0 Release Uses Debian 9 (Stretch). Older EdgeOS Releases Uses Debian 7 (Wheezy).
- I know now I need to add wheezy package repo.
