linux-image-amd64 held back

GuyFromMars · 22. Mai 2020

I just reinstalled OMV5 & omv-extras, enabled backports from web ui & now apt upgrade gives me the following:

Code

The following packages have been kept back:                                       linux-image-amd64                                                             0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.The following packages have been kept back:                                       linux-image-amd64                                                             0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

How do I troubleshoot. Preliminary googling shows nothing useful.

What is the output of:

omv-aptclean

apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64

sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64

I have seen this problem from time to time. It clears itself eventually and I never found out what causes it. I didn't do anything to try to fix it.

ryecoaaron · 22. Mai 2020

I think the omv-aptclean fixed it because it says 5.5 is a candidate. If it still won't install, apt-mark unhold linux-image-amd64 should do it.

gderf · 22. Mai 2020

Not a problem for me just a related observation.

I have linux-image-amd64 5.5.17-1~bpo10+1 installed.

But what is shown in the kernel list in OMV-Extras kernel tab in the drop down box is Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64.

Sadly, still a problem.

Only read, never post .. sorry if I don't follow correct posting etiquette.

Was having the same problem, so tried to force the install

I'm very much a Debian beginner .. and potentially have broken something .. but things now appear to be working

Funny thing but I had two files held back a couple of days ago when upgrading a Debian 10 desktop. I’m almost sure one of them was linux-image-amd64. Can’t remember if I just restarted and tried apt-get update and upgrade again, or what, but all went well. Wish I had paid better attention.

Says "linux-image-amd64 was already not hold" so still will not install. Reinstalled debian from scratch twice with same problem.

GuyFromMars · 25. Mai 2020

BitBuck solution worked:

Code

apt-get install linux-image-5.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

Thanks!

I think this is the repo you are using. The linux-image-amd64 might not be pointing at the 5.5.0-0.bpo.2 package yet. I just installed debian 10 and it worked fine.

Hi

I've just had two NMI faults (reboots) after OMV apt installed 5.5.6

I've just rebooted into 5.5.0 to see if that stops being stupid, but I'm aware that I saw linux-image-amd64 was 'held' when it went to 5.6 I nudged it and marked it as auto installed - should I (or can I?) downgrade that as well as potentially uninstall 5.5.6?

ghanz · 21. Juni 2020

BitBuck solution to run:

Code

apt-get install linux-image-5.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

Helped me install missing drivers for my N40L micro server.

linux-image-amd64 held back

Jetzt mitmachen!
