I don't know about synaptic as I don't use it. What does: $ dpkg -l | grep linux-image say? Perhaps you do not have the virtual package "linux-image-amd64" for some reason. That package depends upon the latest actual kernel package, so causes you to see upgrades. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
Re: debian stable kernel not updating on one machine
Possibly a dependency conflict of some kind. Maybe try updating from the terminal to see if it works or at least gives a useful error message sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt full-upgrade You could also check the contents of the /boot directory to see if the kernel is actually there. If the kernel is there on the drive but not being used to boot, then you could try running "sudo update-grub" and then rebooting. On Tue, 2 Feb 2021 at 18:14, D. R.

debian stable kernel not updating on one machine
I went to update one of my machines running debian stable today, using (as usual) synaptic [which I think is basically a wrapper for various apt functions]. The machine is running: [Z:~] uname -a Linux zserver 4.19.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.160-2 (2020-11-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux [Z:~] But I see that synaptic lists 4.19.0-14-amd64 as being available in the repository; and, indeed, on another machine I updated earlier in the day the kernel was updated from -13 to -14. How might I be able to diagnose why the files relating to the -14 kernel are not selected when I hit synaptic's "Mark All Upgrades" button? Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans
