Hi Ben, I'm using "deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main contrib non-free" which redirects to "http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/";, but please note that this is also shown on packages.debian.org ( https://packages.debian.org/buster/linux-headers-amd64).
If I do an apt-cache search linux-headers I can see linux-headers-4.12.0-2-amd64 available, but the linux-headers-amd64 metapackage references linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64 (0-1 instead of 0-2), and linux-image-amd64 still tries to install 4.12.0-1 (instead of the available 4.12.0-2).. This is from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz Package: linux-headers-amd64 Source: linux-latest (84) Version: 4.12+84 Installed-Size: 12 Maintainer: Debian Kernel Team <debian-ker...@lists.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Depends: linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64 Description: Header files for Linux amd64 configuration (meta-package) Description-md5: c3bd37fd9656f71f4133642896829a35 Section: kernel Priority: optional Filename: pool/main/l/linux-latest/linux-headers-amd64_4.12+84_amd64.deb Size: 5926 MD5sum: 380d0c64d622d67dd4abd64063c5d647 SHA256: ffb0ce6a11ea7d3c762a490da4280c59dfb5d490bd0eb1709bcc2f76cefadcf0 Understood that it was fixed in sid, but I'm on buster, and this is effectively breaking, at least, dkms.
