I have a few
systems running Debian/Stable (Bookworm). However the kernel
version isn't always the same for some reason. After this
morning's update, I noticed that 2 of the 3 systems upgraded
the kernel but to different versions. This is shown by running
uname -a.
The first is a
VM. It has been using this kernel for a while now, as it
hasn't updated any packages recently. It is updated from the
Debian U.S. repositories.
Linux VM1 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
The second is a real machine.
The kernel updated this morning. It is updated from the Canadian
mirrors.
Linux RM1 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
The third is also a real
machine. It hosts the VM (among others). It also updated the
kernel today. It is
also updated from the Canadian mirrors.
Linux
RM2 6.1.0-31-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.128-1
(2025-02-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running dpkg
-l | grep "^hi" and confirming with dpkg
--get-selections | grep "\<hold$" shows that I have no
held packages.
The hardware (real and virtual) is similar in that they are
all running AMD CPUs (Ryzen).
I run the updates on all 3 machines at least weekly, so I'm
wondering why they aren't all getting the same kernel upgrades.
Why did RM1 only get a 9 month old update today while RM2 got an
update from yesterday already?

Can anyone help me understand this behaviour?
Thanks.
