Different Kernel versions

[elija]

I have two AMD 64 computers running Siduction. Both have had a dist-upgrade performed today.

They have different kernel versions:

Computer 1
andromeda 3.6-9.towo-siduction-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 3 21:49:02 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Computer 2
Linux orac 3.6-6.towo-siduction-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 18 17:02:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Computer 2 has the has the kernel headers for 3.6.9 installed.

So far I have failed to find the cause of the difference in Linux kernels. Can anybody give me a clue of where I have gone wrong?

Mising kernel-image metapackage maybe?

I did wonder that but there doesn't appear to be a kernel-image package.

There is a linux-image-amd64 but I don't think that's it

apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64

I think I've just figured out how the Siduction repositories work. I'm installing the package linux-image-siduction-amd64 and that is giving me linux-image-3.6-9.towo-siduction-amd64

Fantastic and very simple when you figure it out.

That is what towo meant by kernel-image meatapackage.
