apt-getupdate/upgrade success yet GUI software updater keeps nagging. Normal?

  • 772

New to Ubuntu 20.04 uname -r 5.8.0-55-generic lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal

After running apt-get update and then upgrade the only odd message I receive is:

[![The following packages have been kept back:   linux-generic-hwe-20.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04 linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04][1]][1]

Then, GUI software updater keeps popping up asking me to install all the files in the attached screenshot.

  1. Is this safe?
  2. Why does software updater conflict with the success messages of apt-get update/upgrade? Or is it trying to tell me I still need to do something about linux-generic-hwe-20.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04 in it's own cute, yet surpentine way?

I do apologize. New to the commend editor and it does not support line breaks.

I did: apt-get update then apt-get upgrade.

Also:

apt list --upgradable Listing... Done

Thank you.

  1. SOLVED: I had to unhold those that were held back and then apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. That seems to have solved the nagging notice.
