It's not supposed to install via "apt upgrade", as that command won't pull in new packages or remove packages. Unlike most, kernel packages can co exist so they are all separate packages. Thus need the extra "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt full-upgrade" variants as they are new dependencies.
- jwilk 9y ago"apt upgrade" (unlike "apt-get upgrade") does pull in new packages, but it won't remove existing ones. I don't see why "apt upgrade" wouldn't install the new kernel. It's hard to tell what when wrong without knowing any details. Anyway, if apt decided to hold back a package for some reason, most of the time you should be able to install it with "apt(-get) install". Do not install packages with dpkg unless you know what you're doing.
