Hm, I'm intrigued - where do you get the above version information from?

On my Chimaera system, I get the following:

Output of uname -a:

Linux Zmachine 5.10.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.179-2 (2023-07-14) x86_64
GNU/Linux


A (partial) result of aptitude upgrade shows me:

Get: 1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security/main amd64 linux-
image-5.10.0-24-amd64 amd64 5.10.179-5 [55.6 MB]

Unpacking linux-image-5.10.0-24-amd64 (5.10.179-5) ...

Unpacking linux-image-amd64 (5.10.179-5) over (5.10.179-2) ...


So, on my system, the current kernel 5.10.0.23 is coded 50.10.179-2 and the
new kernel 5.10.0-24 is coded 5.10.179-5


Whereas you somehow see 5.10.179-5 as kernel 5.10.0-25.

Where do you get that from?


Also, if I want to get the source for this new kernel 5.10.0-24:

# apt-get source linux-image-5.10.0-24-amd64
