Who didn't get what?

I expected it to. Here's the same listing with nonessential lines excised:

-rw-r--r--  1 17388979 Jan  9 17:45 initrd.img-4.9.0-4-686-pae
-rw-r--r--  1 17392772 Jan  9 17:44 initrd.img-4.9.0-5-686-pae
-rw-r--r--  1  3643920 Dec 22 19:39 vmlinuz-4.9.0-4-686-pae
-rw-r--r--  1  3645296 Jan  4 06:12 vmlinuz-4.9.0-5-686-pae

Clearly, 4.9.0-4 and 4.9.0-5 pae kernels are present, the very kernels in the OP
that, as I read, deloptes subsequently claimed were "one and the same package"
(could not coexist).
