here's what debian web page returns when queried about kernel-source:
unstable kernel-source-2.4.9-ia64 010820.1 (22204.5k)
Linux kernel source for version 2.4.9 on IA-64
unstable kernel-source-2.4.8 2.4.8-1 (21495.9k)
Linux kernel source for version 2.4.8
unstable kernel-source-2.4.9 2.4.9-1 (21566.3k)
Linux kernel source for version 2.4.9
unstable kernel-source-2.2.19 2.2.19-7 (15193.6k)
Linux kernel source for version 2.2.19
dpkg and grep-available only report kernel-source packages up to 2.4.5
(which is what I have installed), even though I just did apt-get update:
jojda:/home/erik# grep-available kernel-source|grep '^Package:
*kernel-source'

ii kernel-source-2.4.5
2.4.5-1 Linux kernel source for
version 2.4.5
why is that? is there any way to get accurate information? I can
apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.9 so the problem is not in outdated
package information...
after I installed 2.4.9 it is listed but other (2.4.8) are not.
any ideas? TIA
