Hi guys,

I am trying to get latest kernel on my cubietruck because from some reason I still have kernel + headers version 3.4.109 even I did "apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y" or tried "apt-get dist-upgrade"

 

My setup is boot on nand and root on /dev/sda1 on debian Jessie. Root system is about week old.

 

When I run "aptitude reinstall ~ncubietruck" I will get this:

 

START

 

linux-u-boot-cubietruck-next is not currently installed, so it will not be reinstalled.
linux-jessie-root-next-cubietruck is not currently installed, so it will not be reinstalled.

END

 

I am going to get content of these deb packages manually from /var/cache/apt/archives now....

 

UPDATE: I deleted folders in boot dir and repeated the aptitude command again and it finished without any complain like I expected.
