Actually looking at the kernel version, that is a Debian style version, it is just totally obsolete. Make sure you have the package 'linux-image-amd64' installed, which will keep your kernel at the current debian version whenever you do a proper upgrade. Note a proper upgrade is apt-get dist-upgrade (not apt-get update) or apt full-upgrade (probably preferred these days over apt-get). upgrade only upgrades package versions, but won't install any new package names, while dist-upgrade/full-upgrade will allow new packages to be installed, and since a new kernel version has a new package name (since the version is in the name) you need the full upgrade in order to get a kernel upgrade. upgrade is only valid within a release to get point release updates and security fixes. To go to another release, or in fact anytime when running testing or unstable where things change a lot, the full upgrade is often required. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
