Re: Why has new bookwork installation given me a newer kernel than an upgraded bookworm?

I'm confused, I've just installed Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworkm) on a

I have another 4B on which I installed Bookworm a while ago and have
updated regularly and it only has Kernel: 6.1.21-v8+ aarch64.

 
apt list installed 'linux-image*'
 

That simply lists every possible matching package as far as I can see,
not what's actually installed. 

There isn't anything actually installed with a package name matching
'linux-image':-

    chris@homepi$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image
    chris@homepi$


The 'older' system has /boot/kernel8.img installed from the
raspberrypi-kernel package.

The 'newer' system says /boot/kernel8.img comes from the
raspberrypi-kernel package but there isn't any raspberrypi-kernel
package installed. :-

    root@newodinpi:~# apt-file search kernel8.img
    raspberrypi-kernel: /boot/kernel8.img    
    root@newodinpi:~# dpkg -l | grep raspberrypi-kernel
    root@newodinpi:~#

Something is funny here!
