In Debian they put different versions of kernel into different packages. Kernel 3.10-2-amd64 belongs to a package linux-image-3.10-2-amd64. Kernel 3.11-2-amd64 belongs to a package linux-image-3.11-2-amd64. The package 'linux-image-amd64' is a metapackage which depends on the current linux-image-<insert-version-here>-amd64 package. > Is it enough to install "linux-image-3.11-2-amd64" manually and then do > the "apt-get upgrade"? There is no need to complicate things. 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will suffice, and it will keep your current kernel along with a new one. > Thanks (and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate this)!!
