Package: extlinux Version: 2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1 Severity: normal When extlinux-update is writing out the linux.cfg file, it uses the following shell code:
# Find linux versions _VERSIONS="$(cd /boot && ls vmlinuz-* | grep -v .dpkg-tmp | sed -e 's|vmlinuz-||g' | sort -nr)" Unfortunately, this results in (for instance) vmlinuz-3.2 being sorted before vmlinuz-3.16, with the unexpected result that an unattended reboot will still boot to the old kernel. It should really use "sort -Vr" instead. (I made a local diversion of this file with this fix and it works perfectly.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.9 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages extlinux depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u10 Versions of packages extlinux recommends: pn os-prober <none> ii syslinux-common 2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1 pn syslinux-themes-debian <none> extlinux suggests no packages.
