Linux Headers not being upgraded via CLI

poncedeleon · 10-22-2022, 04:25 AM

For the past three days I have had Updates/Upgrades via the CLI. Using the CLI all files have been upgraded except for the Linux Header Files which are being held back for an unknown reason though the files do show to be downloaded in Update Manager.

Why would they be held back via the CLI? Running LMDE5.

What's the error? Post it.

That's what so strange, there is no error.

Please provide the exact error message along with the command (with options) which you are using to cause it.

Just a wild guess:

Code:

apt update
apt upgrade
apt full-upgrade
apt autoremove

How do you know the headers were not upgraded?

I will provide that when an update is available and when I upgrade it. It then shows that particular script.
Thanks

When I do the Upgrade it states that. When an upgrade is done will provide the script which states that.

So, there are no messages to post...so why are you saying "it then shows that particular script" and "...will provide the script which states that"?? Seems that SOMETHING is giving you an error/message of some sort, doesn't it?? So why can't you post it? Why can't you tell us the version you're using, or provide details when posting a question??

If it's the same machine you asked about months ago, with another package being 'held back', the solution remains the same: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ck-4175715385/

would be nice to see exactly what did you try and what's happened. Exactly. Do not type something similar, do not try to remember or explain, just show us what was entered and what was the response. Exactly. What you wrote is nothing more but "something happened somewhere".

What I would suggest is to use: apt install <package>

(How to 'fish') A web search of the error message:
"The following packages have been kept back"

Instantly gave me this ([web]fish[ing_result], a bit tastiersimpler than [today's meal], given above):
https://itsfoss.com/following-packag...een-kept-back/

(based on the saying: "Teach a person to fish...", similar to web fishsearching)

Ignore my writing in parentheses (and braces).
TL;dr: Once again, web searching the error message, provides the answer.

Also, here is a Blog about using code tags, to make the posting of output clearer:

So packages were held back...exactly as you asked before.

Again: the answer is the same. You were provided links and commands to deal with this exact problem previously. Links and commands were looked up for you then, and have been given to you again here. At what point can you proceed??

Thank you for your considerate response to me. In addition I will surf the web prior to posting any more questions.

Have a good day.

Please put me on your IGNORE LIST. I respectfully do not want to hear from you any longer. I will do the same so don't waste your time replying to ANY of my post's or replies. Get off of it and get a life.
