Yes, that same package is installed on both servers. The second server
was set up.

dselect was installed
- it was ran and updated to learn about available packages

dpkg --set-selections was ran against a --get-selections from the older box.

And an upgrade was done after the new selections were setup.

In the end, the old box has the 4.9 kernel and the new box has the older
(standard) one.

I've got good logs, now I'll try to work out exactly when it was
installed (4.9) and if there were any other packages that were done at
that time.

Thanks
