APT shows as update an older kernel that the current one
« on: December 11, 2010, 08:46:20 pm »
Hi,

If i do "apt-get upgrade", it shows these updates as available:
linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic-pae
linux-image-2.6.32-26-generic-pae

Here is my installed kernel:
uname -a
Linux gila 2.6.32-26-generic-pae #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 16:14:46 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

These updates are not shown in zential interface. Only in apt-get upgrade.

How can i force apt to ignore these updates?

Josep

have you tried "aptitude autoclean"?

autoclean:  Removes any cached packages which can no longer be downloaded. This allows you to prevent a cache from growing out of control over time without completely emptying it.

That's very odd, however it seems to bleng to an Ubuntu forum rather than to Zentyal.
Still, why not let it upgrade? Worst case cenario: you end up with the wrong kernel, but still it would work and then you may work it out from there.

It is very strange that it is trying to upgrade to the same kernel you already have installed. Maybe you marked it as not installed?
