Regards Narendra Diwate I believe you have been using the Indian mirror. The general consensus on the 10.04 LTS and Updates was that Indian mirror provides very slow speeds. As a consequence, I switched to the main server, and this mail confirms what I suspected for some time, that the Indian mirror lags behind in delivering updates which are on the main server too.

The reason it is marked new install, it is infact a new install (not trying to be funny), after you install there will be 2 kernel versions showing at boot time (so it is not a update/upgrade, but a new install). Using synaptic package mgr, you can uninstall the older version of kernel. Few reason I can think of 1) Upgrading to a new kernel can break your system sometimes, so if it is a new install, you can test it and stay with new kernel or move back to old one... 2) some people stick a particular kernel because of their configurations like OpenVZ (amature explaination, as I am one...) It is very usual in every release to have a new kernel sooner the release.

Could you please tell me the version number of the kernel that is being installed through the update? I have been waiting for a kernel upgrade for the last couple of weeks, as I am facing an Xorg memory leak which was attributed to a patch in the kernel, that caused a regression. It was fixed upstream, and I hope that this upgrade includes the fix. I have to hard re-boot my system every day due to that. :( Ninad S.

So the updates are always going to be based on some version from this series. Also the way it works at upstream (kernel development) important bug fixes are backported to all the stable releases from time to time. And currently all the releases from 2.6.30.x to 2.6.33.x are being maintained as stable releases.
