Source: linux Version: 6.16.3-1 Severity: important Tags: trixie forky X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: affects -1 + grub2-common
Dear Maintainer, In [1], which was later backported to stable, a '+N' suffix was added to the ABI of kernel releases with Debian revision N >= 2, e.g. 6.16.3-1 -> 6.16.3+deb14-arm64 6.16.3-2 -> 6.16.3+deb14+1-arm64 linux-version and other tools, most notably update-grub/grub-mkconfig (which currently internally uses `sort -V` and `sort -n`), sort '+' lower than '-'. Since version sorting takes kernel flavor into account, all Debian revisions with N >= 2 sort lower than the first Debian revision. One consequence of this is grub never picks later Debian revisions as the default kernel. Cheers! [1] https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1524
