Hello all,in earlier days apt-get dist-upgrade did automatically upgrade the kernel, too.This behavior is no more. When did this change ? Best regards Hans
apt-get will only upgrade the kernel if a metapackage depends on the new kernel - linux-image-amd64-k8 depends on the newest AMD64 kernel, so if you install that package, new kernels will be pulled in by dist-upgrade.
