No. The -n in the package name is the ABI version and the ABI has not changed for this update. The updates you are seeing are just minor tweaks in the packaging of the kernel. > By the way, shouldn't apt be holding back the linux-image packages? No, why? If you don't want to upgrade your kernel at that time (probably because you don't want to reboot), just answer no and put the package on hold. If you'd use a frontend like aptitude, you'd have a much better overview of what will get installed and holding a package would be very simple.
