I'm unclear about the relationship among Devuan/ Debian 6.1.0-37,
6.1.140-1 numbering and the 6.15 or 6.12 used by kernel.org. I get
the following:
I don't know if Devuan does their own kernel packaging,
They don't. The --print-uris option talls me, for example:
root@pcale:# apt-get install --print-uris linux-image-amd64-dbg
...
'http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN-SECURITY/updates/main/l/linux/linux-image-6.1.0-37-amd64-dbg_6.1.140-1_amd64.deb'
linux-image-6.1.0-37-amd64-dbg_6.1.140-1_amd64.deb 853916720
'http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN-SECURITY/updates/main/l/linux/linux-image-amd64-dbg_6.1.140-1_amd64.deb'
linux-image-amd64-dbg_6.1.140-1_amd64.deb 1300
But then:
root@pcale:# curl --head

but for Debian it's as follows:

Thank you so much for clarifying. It's quite obscure.
Try installing
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-image-6.15-amd64_6.15.3-1~exp1_amd64.deb
. The MD5 sum should be c41ea7cd2bf35dc2ef13b6502df9dac0.
I haven't been able to find what Devuan package points there. I tried to
install it directly, but got the following error:
root@pcale:# dpkg -i linux-image-6.15-amd64_6.15.3-1~exp1_amd64.deb
dpkg: regarding linux-image-6.15-amd64_6.15.3-1~exp1_amd64.deb containing
linux-image-6.15-amd64, pre-dependency problem:
linux-image-6.15-amd64 pre-depends on linux-base (>= 4.12~)
linux-base is installed, but is version 4.9.
dpkg: error processing archive linux-image-6.15-amd64_6.15.3-1~exp1_amd64.deb
(--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing linux-image-6.15-amd64
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-6.15-amd64_6.15.3-1~exp1_amd64.deb
I got more errors when trying to install linux-base 4.12. Then I didn't insist
because something sounds wrong: If I'm trying to install a previous version of
the kernel, how come it depends to a subsequent version of linux-base? In
fact, I cannot find 6.15 in the cache:
root@pcale:# apt-cache search linux-image| grep 6.15
root@pcale:#
The highest I can find with apt-cache is a 6.12.27 backport:
root@pcale:# apt-get install --print-uris linux-image-6.12.27+bpo-rt-amd64
...
'http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-image-6.12.27%2bbpo-rt-amd64_6.12.27-1%7ebpo12%2b1_amd64.deb'
linux-image-6.12.27+bpo-rt-amd64_6.12.27-1~bpo12+1_amd64.deb 107428604
Which is redirected to an URL in the same directory as the 6.15 you suggested:
Location:
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-image-6.12.27+bpo-rt-amd64_6.12.27-1~bpo12+1_amd64.deb
Thinking again, maybe it would be more productive to try and install the latest
kernel, in case the problem is fixed there.
What you think?
Best
