root login message
Hi.
When logging in as root using ssh to my 10.04.2 server, I get:
Code:

1. There are 2 similar "blocks" of information. Why two of them?
2. It shows on both "blocks" that there are updates (packages and security). However "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade" doesn't update. How can I see which packages need updates and how can I finally uzpdate them?
BTW ... https://help.ubuntu.com didn't help.
Thanks,

Re: root login message
Is this "bug" (?) still present?

The following packages have been kept back:
linux-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
I login and I get the message that 3 packages can be updates.
I update && upgrade and 0 are upgraded but 2 not.
???
Why aren't they upgraded and why only 2 (i.s.o.) not?
Thanks,

Re: root login message
Apt-get update only updates packages that are currently on your system. As kernel updates are new packages instead of updates to existing packages you need to use the command:
Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Re: root login message
Hmmm ... strange.
I logged in to test your suggestion. It showed ...
Code:
...
4 packages can be updated.
4 updates are security updates.
...
... at login. I did update && upgrade again and now all packages seem to be updated (no updates are shown at login).
How come?
Referring to your previous answer ... you say that my initial 3 updates were "kernel" updates.
How do you see this from the code block I posted that the updates were kernel related?
Thanks,
