(normally, i'd ask this on the ubuntu users mailing list but i'm<br>
getting kind of weirded out by how so many people there don't seem to<br>
understand questions.)<br>
<br>
when i do a normal apt-get update/upgrade combo, why is it that<br>
three kernel-related packages sometimes get held back? as i read it,<br>
i can, if i want, run:<br>
<br>
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br>
<br>
to pull them in. is that the recommended way? thanks.<br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br>Did you try aptitude instead?<br><br>Compare:<br>aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade<br><br>versus:<br>aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade<br>
<br>The second should pull all kernel updates, the former may say some are held back.<br>-- <br>Khalid M. Baheyeldin<br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a>, Inc.<br><a href="http://2bits.com">http://2bits.com</a><br>
