Kernel version confusion
Basically, I am using (or trying to use) the testing release. I
usually use dselect for installing new packages, when I need to do so
(which is rare for me). dselect says that kernel-source 2.4.18-11 is
installed. It also says that 2.4.20-6 is available. These are the
latest listed via dselect.
But <http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/> says that the latest
versions of kernel-source are 2.4.20-8 and 2.4.21-3. Also, "apt-cache
search kernel-source" says that it knows about 2.4.20 and 2.4.21, and
"apt-cache show" says that they're 2.4.20-8 and 2.4.21-3.
Whisky Tango Foxtrot? I thought dselect used apt and that they had
the same view of the universe. So how did they get out of sync?
I was able to get 2.4.21-3 via apt-get (as I recall) rather than
dselect.
And now my sources.list, which is pretty much voodoo ritual computing
for me: I took the default and I added lines that someone suggested.
Does this file have any effect on dselect versus apt-cache?
