kernel-source-* are for sarge and below linux-source-* are for etch and beyond Then do apt-cache show $PACKAGE and read the Description: (for example, difference between linux-source-2.6.18 and linux-tree-2.6.18) > and which is > the best choice for just being able to reproduce the running kernel? apt-cache show linux-image-$(uname -r)|grep ^Source: Possibly it will return that the source package for your running kernel is linux-2.6 then (if you use deb-src lines in sources.list) grep -A1 "^Package: linux-2.6" /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources|less will show all binary packages produced by the linux-2.6 source package. Chose the linux-source-* or linux-tree-* or whatever you prefer (possibly linux-source-2.6.18 or linux-source-2.6.24). If you want to recompile, also apt-cache show kernel-package might be useful -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te. Digli di smettere.
