When running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade I am getting the below message:

The following packages have been kept back:
linux-image-4.14-armhf-odroid-xu4

I am wondering if this is intended or if I should be doing something else?

When running uname -a I get the message below:

Linux DietPi 4.14.176+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 14 20:02:49 UTC 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

Hi,

many thanks for your message. First I would recommend to perform a dietpi-backup. Just in caste thinks will go wrong. Once done, you could try following:

apt update
apt dist-upgrade
