Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
I'm not sure how it happened but when I updated my Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) x86_64 system about a week ago I ended up with:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-21-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:09:30 UTC 2008
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)
From Synaptic it looks like they both came through hardy-updates. I discovered the mismatch when I attempted to update VMware Player (vmware-config.pl). Since it's installed from source it needs to recompile its module after every kernel update. It pointed out the mismatch and warned against installing. I don't remember how I updated. It either was apt-get or aptitude.

I just updated a different system with aptitude that was using the main Ubuntu repo (us.archive. ubuntu. com) and got the same results:
Original versions:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-21-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Mon Aug 25 17:32:09 UTC 2008
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)
After update:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-21-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)
