In a few of my earlier articles regarding upgrading and updating a Debian system, I missed a few key facts.

In one article, a mentioned performing a distribution upgrade. Another one mentioned doing a kernel upgrade and missing an lvm2 module.

The key is that if modules are being held-back, that is a sign that a distribution upgrade will be needed:

apt-get -u dist-upgrade

The -u parameter provides more detail as to what will be happening during the upgrade.

More details for working with packages can be found at APT HowTo
