Every time I run an apt-get upgrade command manually to get updates, I see the following in the output:


The following packages have been kept back:
linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic

Anybody know why this is?

Did you set the system to only apply security updates perhaps?

Check (I think it is under this) System > Administration > Software Sources > Updates and see what settings are applied.

Hope this helps.

That is the correct behavior of apt-get upgrade (it never installs new packages). You need to do:


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

if you want the new kernel.

Thank you, this worked.
