[SOLVED] Devuan Beowulf not upgrading to 4.19.0-16-amd64

Hello:

I run a parallel Devuan Beowulf installation in my box, on another separate drive.

Yesterday I updated/upgraded my regular/daily installation, 30+ files which included 4.19.0-16-amd64.
I was wanting to the same with this other installation but it did not list the 4.19.0-16-amd64 upgrade.

apt update && upgrade does not list it.

My /etc/sources/list is this:

## package repositories

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Changed - 20210401 - from Beowulf installation
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# beowulf stable
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-updates main contrib non-free

# needed x virtualbox backport - enable to update package
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main contrib non-free

# needed x nvidia non-free drivers installation
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf contrib
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf non-free

# virtual box repository x installation 
# deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ buster non-free contrib

# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf main  
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf-security main  
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf-updates main  
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/ beowulf-proposed main 

# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf non-free contrib main 
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf-security non-free contrib main 
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf-updates non-free contrib main 

How can I troubleshoot this?

Edit:

root@devuan3:~# aptitude why-not linux-headers-4.19.0-16-amd64
Not currently installed
The candidate version 4.19.181-1 has priority optional
No dependencies require to remove linux-headers-4.19.0-16-amd64
root@devuan3:~# 

My main installation does not have this optional priority.
Why is it here?

Thanks in advance,

A.

Re: [SOLVED] Devuan Beowulf not upgrading to 4.19.0-16-amd64

Is the linux-image-amd64 metapackage installed in both systems?

EDIT: or linux-headers-amd64.

Hello:

... linux-image-amd64 metapackage installed ...

Indeed.
That was it.  8^)

Happens when you install from the ground up with a skinny net-install.
Forget lots of things.

Thanks a lot for your input.

Best,

A.
