Now this happened yesterday (or possibly the day before, don't remember sorry), more than 24 hours ago anyway, as well as just now.
Here's what happens: $ uname -a Linux x220a02 3.12-1-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 3.12.6-2 (2013-12-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux $ reportbug linux-image-3.12-1-rt-amd64 *** Welcome to reportbug.

So any ideas why there is apparently a newer kernel, and it appears that I have nothing newer to install, yet reportbug is telling me there is a newer kernel. $ dpkg -s linux-image-3.12-1-rt-amd64|grep -i version Version: 3.12.6-2 Does this just mean that the Australian mirror has for some reason not been updated? How do I check the au.debian.org mirror last update date/time? Should I be choosing a different mirror for sid in Australia?
