I installed mariadb 5.5 on my ubuntu laptop like described here:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.5/ubuntu $(lsb_release -c -s) main"
and it works fine so far, only there is something odd with aptitude: when I enter
sudo su
LANG=C
aptitude install
I get these warnings:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-headers-3.11.0-12 linux-headers-3.11.0-12-generic mysql-client-core-5.5{b} mysql-server-core-5.5{b}

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
I am confused and press q for quit!
This warning started after some days of usage of my PC using aptitude
to keep it updated.
aptitude uses the mariadb repository now. this is my /etc/apt/sources.list
:
#begin sources.list
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted
...
deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.5/ubuntu saucy main
# deb-src http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.5/ubuntu saucy main
#end sources.list
Why does it want to install an older kernel and do such things?
I am already on
