Hello With rmadison we can see that 4.9.144 is available on the mirrors, but not yet „active“ in the stable distribution:
$ rmadison linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 | 4.9.130-2 | stable | amd64 linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 | 4.9.144-1 | proposed-updates | amd64 Where the information is stored on the repository specifying a package as stable? In the file packages.xz we see only linux-image-4.9.0-7: $ xzgrep linux-image debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | grep Filename Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64_4.9.110-1_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64-dbg_4.9.110-1_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-7-rt-amd64_4.9.110-1_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-7-rt-amd64-dbg_4.9.110-1_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux-latest/linux-image-amd64_4.9+80+deb9u5_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux-latest/linux-image-amd64-dbg_4.9+80+deb9u5_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux-latest/linux-image-rt-amd64_4.9+80+deb9u5_amd64.deb Filename: pool/main/l/linux-latest/linux-image-rt-amd64-dbg_4.9+80+deb9u5_amd64.deb Thanks!
