Re: debian stable kernel not updating on one machine

[Jeremy Andrews <thejeremy.net@gmail.com>]

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.

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?
