I am using Tails 2.10 which is ran on Linux 4.8.0-0, however whenever I attempt to update / upgrade to a later version, I am unable to progress with installing a supported package by Debian. Is there any way I can acquire a system with the same Linux version 4.8.0-0 or is there any way I can upgrade the Linux version in TAILS?


So you want to install these two packages:

* linux-headers-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-686
* linux-headers-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

since we ship two kernels. Indeed, those Jessie backports have been replaced with the linux-headers-4.9.0-2-* versions now, so you will have to use something like http://snapshot.debian.org to get these older versions. Try going back to the date when Tails 2.10 was released.

OTOH, the release candidate of Tails 2.12 will be released later today, and it (and the final Tails 2.12) will use Linux 4.9, so I suggest you don't bother analysing Tails 2.10 with Linux 4.8 but start with Tails 2.12~rc1 and Linux 4.9 to get something more relevant.

Cool! Please report your findings to the tails-dev@ mailing list!
