Basically, I am using (or trying to use) the testing release. I usually use dselect for installing new packages, when I need to do so (which is rare for me). dselect says that kernel-source 2.4.18-11 is installed. It also says that 2.4.20-6 is available. These are the latest listed via dselect.
But <http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/> says that the latest versions of kernel-source are 2.4.20-8 and 2.4.21-3. Also, "apt-cache search kernel-source" says that it knows about 2.4.20 and 2.4.21, and "apt-cache show" says that they're 2.4.20-8 and 2.4.21-3. Whisky Tango Foxtrot? I thought dselect used apt and that they had the same view of the universe. So how did they get out of sync? I was able to get 2.4.21-3 via apt-get (as I recall) rather than dselect. And now my sources.list, which is pretty much voodoo ritual computing for me: I took the default and I added lines that someone suggested. Does this file have any effect on dselect versus apt-cache? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% sources.list %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% # Woody.
