Solution: Some background info: I am running ubuntu server 22.0 LTS in virtualbox & accessing using SSH. But the commands should work on practically any installation of ubuntu as long as you can use apt command.

Step 1:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove

This won't resolve your problem but make it easier for you (lazy people :)), to run the following commands.

Output of the above command:

Hit:1 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease
Hit:2 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports InRelease
Hit:4 https://esm.ubuntu.com/apps/ubuntu jammy-apps-security InRelease
Hit:5 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security InRelease
Hit:6 https://esm.ubuntu.com/apps/ubuntu jammy-apps-updates InRelease
Hit:7 https://esm.ubuntu.com/infra/ubuntu jammy-infra-security InRelease

8 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

The following packages have been kept back:
  libnss-systemd libpam-systemd libsystemd0 libudev1 systemd systemd-sysv systemd-timesyncd udev
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.

Step 2:

Copy the 2nd last line, which contains a list of packages (in space separated format), that were not upgraded by previous commands. This will help you to NOT type the entire list if there are hundreds of'em.

We have 3 solutions for this problem, try them 1 by 1. depending upon the configuration, preferences, and the reason for the packages not getting upgraded, any 1 of these can resolve the problem. For me, the 3rd solution worked.

Solution 1: (didn't work for me, but has been reported to work for many users)

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Solution 2: (didn't work for me, but has been reported to work for many users)

sudo apt upgrade --with-new-pkgs

Solution 3: (worked on my machine)

sudo apt install --only-upgrade libnss-systemd libpam-systemd libsystemd0 libudev1 systemd systemd-sysv systemd-timesyncd udev

In the above command, you can replace the package list with your own list that you copied in step 2 above.

Try all 3 solutions, because depending upon the configuration, preferences, and the reason for the packages not getting upgraded, any 1 of these can resolve the problem.

  1. create a bash file (upgrade.sh) in your home directory.
  2. paste this code in it.

.

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install aptitude -y

sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

3.save it

4.run : bash upgrade.sh

  1. everytime just don't type these commands just enter (bash upgrade.sh)

This usually happens when some of the packages are kept back. You can use the following commands (which worked for me)

Install aptitude sudo apt install aptitude

Then, run this command sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

The source.list might be outdated. Try replacing your /etc/apt/sources.list with the following source.list

for ubuntu 14.04
for ubuntu 16.04
for ubuntu 18.04
for ubuntu 20.04

After replacing source list do following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
