How about another dumb question? Okay, here goes...
Apt never seems to notice that a new kernel package is available for updating -- I have to explicitly list the available kernel packages and install the new one. Is this a bug or a feature? In either case, is there a way to fix this annoying behavior? I've seen it happen before on a different package, but I don't recall what it was. Thanks
That is older apt, and apt from FreshRPMS and other paackagers. apt from fedora.us (soon to be published for Legacy too) is totally not made to be used for automated upgrades like some people currently use yum. As a result, our apt is set to offer to upgrade to the latest kernel if it is available.
As always however, it is your job to reboot later.
