In buster-backports/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz, I see six packages built against 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1, viz Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64-dbg Source: linux Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1 Installed-Size: 6961276 -- Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64-unsigned Source: linux Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1 Installed-Size: 288300 -- Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-cloud-amd64-dbg Source: linux Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1 Installed-Size: 2142744 -- Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-cloud-amd64-unsigned Source: linux Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1 Installed-Size: 76726 -- Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64-dbg Source: linux Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1 Installed-Size: 6968406 -- Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64-unsigned Source: linux Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1 Installed-Size: 291183 On https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/kernel/, I see three matches for linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4…amd64, viz linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64-unsigned (5.10.19-1~bpo10+1) linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-cloud-amd64-unsigned (5.10.19-1~bpo10+1) linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64-unsigned (5.10.19-1~bpo10+1) The other three are, of course, on the page https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/debug/ If I search on https://packages.debian.org/index for linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo. in buster-backports/any, then I see the same six matches for linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4…amd64, where, as before, "…" stands for cloud, rt, and nothing. So I don't observe any discrepancy between the Packages file and the packages.debian.org page or its search function. But the OP is, perhaps, relying on the upgrade mechanism provided by the linux-image-amd64 metapackage. However, that's supporting only the signed versions, and buster-backports doesn't (yet) have any 5.10.19 signed versions: $ xzgrep 'Source: linux-signed-amd64' /home/debian/buster/Packages-backports.xz | sort -u Source: linux-signed-amd64 (5.10.13+1~bpo10+1) Source: linux-signed-amd64 (5.9.15+1~bpo10+1) $ ls -Glg /home/debian/buster/Packages-backports.xz -rw-r----- 1 458020 Mar 17 15:01 /home/debian/buster/Packages-backports.xz $ (I haven't delved into what the new versions support as I'm currently on 4.19, but that might change soon as I have a newish HP laptop to play with.) Cheers, David.
