• confused about available 32bit kernels in Trixie

    Until I went to http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/ and looked, I
    had thought no newer kernel available. I fetched with wget and installed. Debian
    tool searching showed only the installed kernels, and apt-cache madison was coming
    up empty. The mirror also offers 6.10.11, 6.10.9 and several older. Am I seeing impact of the recent announcement of 32bit kernel termination here? If not, what
    am I missing that I ended up getting the new kernel installed this hard way?

    This doesn't show the state of the archive/available packages.

    You can use apt-cache to see what versions are available for the
    version of Debian you have on your system / which mirrors you have

    I find https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linux useful, too. It shows

    testing: 6.11.2-1

    It also shows that 6.11.2-1 migrated to testing (trixie) just Yesterday.
