Re: What is the difference between linux-image-amd64 and linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64?

"dep: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64" -
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/linux-image-amd64

linux-image-amd64 is a meta-package, that installs
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64.

If you install the meta-package, I guess an update of the meta-package
will replace linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64, if there should be a version
> linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 available. If you install it without the
meta-package, you could install another version of the kernel beside
this one. I might be right or wrong, you could find out yourself by some
research on the Debian websites.
