Hello,

We are upgrading our Debian servers (AMD64). We found that the following
kernels are available on public Debian mirrors:

kernel-image-4.9.0-8-amd64-di_4.9.130-2_amd64.udeb
<http://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/kernel-image-4.9.0-8-amd64-di_4.9.130-2_amd64.udeb>
28-Oct-2018 05:46
4522628kernel-image-4.9.0-8-amd64-di_4.9.144-1_amd64.udeb
<http://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/kernel-image-4.9.0-8-amd64-di_4.9.144-1_amd64.udeb>
04-Jan-2019 05:31             4529754

URL: http://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/

We would expect that the latest 4.9.144-1 kernel would be the candidate.
However only 4.9.130-2 is listed as candidate:

test:~# apt-cache policy linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64

linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64:

  Installed: 4.9.130-2

  Candidate: 4.9.130-2

  Version table:

*** 4.9.130-2 500

        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Could someone explain this behavior? (we did clean the apt cache)


Thanks and regards

Martin

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

It will be moved to the stable distribution with the next point release.

 Hi Nik

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to extract this information from the
mirror server (CentOS based)?

Where the information is stored on the repository server specifying a
package as stable?

regards
Martin

Yes - probably updating your mirror ;):

Please get yourself removed from Debian lists instead of insulting users with legitimate threads, using false claims of misbehaviour.

formorer, please consider sending a warning to Ric Moore, or better, just remove them.

The OP posted to each and every user PLUS the list. That is a huge no 
no. Consider yourself advised that us old timers don't go for that and 
never have. Ric

+1 from another old timer.  And at 84 & as of last week part bionic, Ric 
is right as rain. 

> I never saw a mail where they did that. Plonk.

I got at least 4 such to me and to the list. If Ric hadn't beat me to it, 
I was about to write another procmail recipe.  Might yet if the OP that 
started this doesn't desist with spamming all the list members plus 
posting to the list.
 
it                                                                                                                                                     .

The guy may have had a legit question if one can read thru the haze of a 
language translator and make sense of it, the translator unfortunately 
did not leave any sense in the statements. So I never did figure out 
what the OP was wanting.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

I haven't seen any spam from plataleas plataleas. By "spamming", do
you mean that you got individually addressed messages duplicating
their list postings, or something else entirely?

Not sure what that empty line signifies.

I received messages on the topic given by the subject line, starting at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/01/msg00636.html
concerning the availability of various kernel versions. They were
answered by Dominik George who eventually suggested that the OP
check whether their mirror was up to date, and that seemed to be
appropriate action. Suddenly Ric Moore chimed in with an accusation
of "spamming", under the same subject:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/01/msg00714.html

I've already deleted all the substantive posts because I'm not that
deeply into package management, but the archives (starting at the
msg00636.html address) show the thread just as I saw it.
So I'm perplexed.

Cheers,
David.

Individually addressed to me, and identical to the posting. I use kmails 
dup del frequently, so theres a decent chance I don't have an example.

That's ok: as I said, they're in the web archive. If that's your only
complaint, I think the reaction was rather OTT.

But you might want to consult your "last rites" thread where
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/03/msg00236.html
contains a procmail that deduplicates incoming mail.

If the postings in the web archive contain everything that you
received duplicates of, then I can't understand why you're
talking about a "language translator". The only sentence I can
see that one might criticise is:

"Where the information is stored on the repository server specifying a
package as stable?"

If there are native English speakers who can't understand that to mean
"Where is the information stored on the repository server specifying a
package as stable?", then they're the ones with problems.

Hi Nik

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

You specified that this information is stored in Packages.xz. However I
could find only 4.9.0-7 Kernel:

$ 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

Did we miss something?

Thanks!

 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 |

Hello

The issue was, that our local mirror was not updated correctly. Now it
looks good:

$xzgrep linux-image  debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz |
