Hello:

Nothing looks amiss ...
... Daedalus is running fine.

Same here.

Maybe the reason is that all these updated packages only work properly on/with 6.1.0-25.
ie: not the previous version 6.1.0-23

Thanks for your input.

Best,

Debian had a point release update on the 31st of August. It affected both chimaera and daedalus. I had about 50 updates on my desktop system(s).

Looking at my apt log, I had quite a few updates on the 1st of September. Given the way they are formatted in the log, it's not easy to count them, but way up there. Nothing looks amiss in there, and my Daedalus is running fine. Guess we'd have to ask Debian why they got all bunched up like that.

Hello:

An odd question, if I may ...

My box runs on Devuan Daedalus:

~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 6.1.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.99-1 (2024-07-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux
~$

I keep it up to date by checking with apt at least once a week and my upgrades are usually for few packages.

This morning my sudo apt update revealed an unusual (?) number of packages to update:

~$ sudo apt update
--- snip ---
Fetched 67.1 MB in 21s (3147 kB/s)                                                                                                                    
Reading package lists... Done

67 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.    # 67 packages
~$

I don't recall ever having seen this save when updating a system that had gone more than a few months without an update.
According to /var/log/apt/history.log my last update was on 20243108 when only four packages were updated.

Start-Date: 2024-08-31  07:16:44
Commandline: apt upgrade
Requested-By: user (1000)
Upgrade: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-0:amd64 (2.44.2-1~deb12u1, 2.44.3-1~deb12u1), libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18:amd64 (2.44.2-1~deb12u1, 2.44.3-1~deb12u1), libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0:amd64 (2.44.2-1~deb12u1, 2.44.3-1~deb12u1), libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64 (2.44.2-1~deb12u1, 2.44.3-1~deb12u1)
End-Date: 2024-08-31  07:16:49

Is anything amiss, did something happen to trigger such a large package update?
Or is it because of linux-headers-6.1.0-25-amd64 | linux-headers-6.1.0-25-common | linux-image-6.1.0-25-amd64?

Just asking.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
