To add to The Wanderer's great answer, you might find the output of the below command helps to clarify matters, because it tells about the status of packages that are currently installed: $ apt list --installed --upgradeable 'linux-image*' Whereas (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) 'apt-cache show' tells what is currently available from your configured repositories, but does not indicate whether any of those are currently installed, or not.
