I think I might have a problem. I do the sudo apt-get update and then sudo

there were updates to the kernel and to Apache. I've been watching
Debian-Security and noticed there are some updates coming up. But I haven't
seen any when I go to do the update.
[snipped info I already gave]
Start with dpkg -s unattended-upgrades
If that is installed, check as root/with sudo:
# cat /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log

Description: automatic installation of security upgrades
This package can download and install security upgrades automatically
and unattended, taking care to only install packages from the
configured APT source, and checking for dpkg prompts about
configuration file changes.
.
This script is the backend for the APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade
option.

If you have unattended-upgrades package installed and it is configured
to fetch and install security updates only ( which is default ), that is
place to look for upgraded packages. You can also configure
unattended-upgrades to mail you where there was updates/upgrades and all
that jazz.
How do I go about upgrading then? I don't know of how to do it any other
way than via apt-get. Also I don't want to have it email me anything. I
usually go to the command line, do a series of commands and upgrade the
system. I would like to continue to do things that way. I do this once a
week (usually Thurs. but now I'm switching to Fridays).
