I am running an Ubuntu
22.04
on GCP.
When I perform
$ apt list --installed | grep -i headers
I see more than one version of the package
linux-gcp-X.Z-headers-X.Y.Z-ABCD/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now...[installed,automatic]
linux-gcp-X.Z-headers-X.Y.Z-VHCJ/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now...[installed,automatic]
.

linux-headers-X.Y.Z-ABCD-gcp/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now ...[installed]
linux-headers-X.Y.Z-VHCJ-gcp/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now ...[installed]
.

.
linux-headers-gcp/jammy-updates,jammy-security, now... [installed, automatic]
1. Why are there so many version of the same package
2. Which one is actually been used?
3. Why the two formats, i.e. linux-gcp-X.Z-headers-X.Y.Z-ABCD
and linux-headers-X.Y.Z-VHCJ-gcp
(as also a third, cleaner one, linux-headers-gcp
)
