Assuming you are on an amd64 system, then this: apt-cache show linux-image-amd64 The package 'linux-image-amd64' is a meta package which always depend on the latest available linux-image-* package for the architecture (in this case, amd64). If you are interested in knowing which repository in your sources.list has that package available, then you want this: apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64 Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
