When I do a apt-get dist-upgrade though I see: The following NEW packages will be installed: ...linux-image-2.6-486 linux-image-2.6.32-5-486...Do you have mindi installed? Otherwise I cannot see a package in sid/experimental that would pull in linux-image-2.6-486.Bingo. It's mindi. The funny thing is I install mondo(with mindi) from upstream because its support on Debian has fallen by the wayside: current is 2.2.9.3-1 and debian still has 1:2.2.7-2.1.Two patch levels (2.2.9 vs. 2.2.7) is fallen by the wayside? Really? It looks like some of those changes even got integrated into the package -- there was an NMU for it (Debian revision 2.1).Depending on the scope of patch level changes on this project (x.y.z -> x = Major, y = Minor, z = Patch level), I don't think missing a few is a big deal.
-- Rogério Brito <rbrito@ime.usp.br> Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:45:43 -0300 is the last Debian update from upstream.2.2.9.3-1 was announced April 16, 2010, which I use. That is 7.5 months without activity. Depending on what the change is from 2.2.7 to 2.2.9 that might be a big deal.
