Upgrading kernel... no version in current package!
I'm new to Debian and only recently set up my first "working" system.
Following the security advisory today, I attempted to upgrade my kernel
with 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'. It doesn't show any
updates available. I do have the update server in my sources.list:
0:# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
Could the problem be that there is no version associated with the stock
kernel?
0:# dpkg -l kernel-image
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-install
| ed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
|uppercase=bad)|/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-=====================================
=======
un kernel-image <none> (no description available)
What's the best way to fix this? Should I wget the packages and install
them with dpkg -i? Will that fix it so that apt-get recognizes a new
version later? I don't want to hose this system; it's running a small
Web server for my DAoC guild forums. :o)
Thanks,
Krum
