If you're trying to install this, at time of writing the usual pages are still serving 8.6 images:

From the release page:

"Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 8 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old "jessie" CDs or DVDs but only to update via an up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date packages to be updated."
