It looks like you might be relying on package versions being the same
before and after running apt update. That is an invalid assumption.

If something within the Debian distribution is broken, see
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/ for how to file a bug report.
However, that your script is apparently expecting a specific version
of a kernel package, or making assumptions about what changes happen
as part of an apt{,-get} update, hardly seems to me as though
something in Debian is broken. That seems more likely to be a problem
with assumptions made in your script. Kernel packages are upgraded
regularly in this manner.
