If I type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
I can only see that the kernel packages are kept back, and not installed. As the screenshot shows.
If I then start the update manager I can install the kernel, with no problems at all. As the second screenshot shows.
Why is this?
The kernel is a new package and not an upgrade of an old one, this is why you can't use the command upgrade
that upgrades packages. You need to use the command dist-upgrade
to install new packages.
