Using "apt-cache search 2.6.11 | grep source", I find I have kernel source for
2.6.11:
kernel-source-2.6.10 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.10 with Debian
patches
kernel-source-2.6.11 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.11 with Debian
patches
kernel-source-2.6.8 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.8 with Debian
patches
kernel-tree-2.6.10 - Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel
images
kernel-tree-2.6.11 - Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel
images
kernel-tree-2.6.8 - Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
linux-source-2.6.12 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.12 with Debian
patches
linux-tree-2.6.12 - Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
"apt-cache policy kernel-source-2.6.11" shows:
kernel-source-2.6.11:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.6.11-7
Version table:
2.6.11-7 0
990 http://localhost unstable/main Packages
The only things that I can think of are:
When did you last update?
Try changing "sid" to "unstable" in your sources (this really is a last
ditch attempt)
Maybe use another mirror....
I've no other ideas, I'm afraid.
Cheers,
