apt-get upgradetold me that packages linux-headers-server linux-image-server were kept back, and thus this answer lead me to run apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server.
However, the command outputs the following:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-server is already the newest version.
linux-image-server is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-server: Depends: linux-image-2.6.32-37-server but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
apt-get -f install:
