Target repo for 23.05

[cheapbian]

Hi,

recently downloaded image for may odroid hc4. There was big sign with 23.5 version so i used this. Everything went fine. Set up lamp nextcloud server but then i wanted to set firewall with geoblock(xt_geoip)  but can't go through basic steps. On my old version it workerd. With some addition steps but did.

Problem is with linux headers. I found out there is some weird "desync" with packages versioning? I downloaded image for 23.5 and repo seems to be on 23.2. Linux kernel on fresh image is 6.1.30 and in repo is 6.1.11. Even armbian-config is installing headers for 6.1.11 and can't compile my stuffs. I just wanted to downgrade kernel to 6.1.11, but i think it may be worth to ask here first if there is no some better solution. Maybe i just did broke something? But I am not sure if there was an option to do so.

Just checked hostnamectl and it shows 23.08.0...

Have no idea what is going on here. On one hand i have 23.05 and on the other whole repository is for 23.02. Is this 23.05 suitable at all?

Sorry if i cam deeply wrong. I am not familiarly with debian based distros.

Two options:

- downgrade to 23.02 kernel and grab header from repo

- use the build framework to build a set of firmware packages by yourself which then can be installed via dpkg

@Werner thanks for reply. I'll go downgrade.
