I have a few systems running Debian/Stable (Bookworm). However the
kernel version isn't always the same for some reason. After this
morning's update, I noticed that 2 of the 3 systems upgraded the kernel
but to different versions. This is shown by running uname -a.
The first is a VM. It has been using this kernel for a while now, as it
hasn't updated any packages recently. It is updated from the Debian U.S.
repositories.
/ Linux VM1 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1
(2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux/
The second is a real machine. The kernel updated this morning. It is
updated from the Canadian mirrors.
/ Linux RM1 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1
(2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux/
The third is also a real machine. It hosts the VM (among others). It
also updated the kernel today.It is also updated from the Canadian mirrors.
/ Linux RM2 6.1.0-31-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.128-1
(2025-02-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
/
Running |/dpkg -l | grep "^hi" / and confirming with ||/dpkg
--get-selections | grep "\<hold$"/ shows that I have no held packages.|
|The hardware (real and virtual) is similar in that they are all running
AMD CPUs (Ryzen).|
|I run the updates on all 3 machines at least weekly, so I'm wondering
why they aren't all getting the same kernel upgrades. Why did RM1 only
get a 9 month old update today while RM2 got an update from yesterday
already?

Can anyone help me understand this behaviour?
Thanks.
