Why?
At least three possibilities.
1) Installing them would breach the ‘apt-get upgrade’ rule that it never removes packages or installs new ones. Solution: ‘apt-get dist-upgrade’.2) They’ve been explicitly put on hold by the operator. Use ‘apt-mark showhold’ to check and ‘apt-mark unhold’ to fix.
3) They’re marked upstream for phased updates. Assuming you’re using standard Debian and RPi OS mirrors, they aren’t.
Someone recently pointed out you can also do
apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs
to get around that. Kernel updates always require a new package.
Except it doesn't

0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 2 not to upgrade. </quote>Avpx
That is probably what I need to do.
I am not sure I will...after what happened last time a new kernel was supposed to be installed!
