I tried to update my Ubuntu Server(s) 22.04.3 LTS a while ago and it gives me the following message. What exactly does it mean? Why it kept sosreport back and what should I do?

  • I tried sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade sosrepot and sudo apt-get install sosrepot from this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/602/578979 of the link you gave me, one on each Ubuntu Server machine I have and the package upgraded on both!!! Thank you!!! – Simos Sigma Oct 20 '23 at 14:01

    Running apt policy sosreport reveals this is phased updates. Also, it's unrelated to the info message about microcode. – Artur Meinild Oct 20 '23 at 14:17
  • @ArturMeinild do I have to do something with this info message about microcode? – Simos Sigma Oct 20 '23 at 14:40
