I'm getting an error while trying to upgrade the kernel. At first it wouldn't even go, but after a bit of tweaking it downloads the kernel and goes through all the steps, but in the end it shows:
The following packages will be upgraded:

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 18.4MB of archives.
