我想更新我在云主机上使用的 Ubuntu VM 的内核，该内核目前停留在 2.6 版本。我在桌面上使用 Arch Linux，因此我习惯于我的包管理器每隔几天给我提供内核更新作为更新常规包的一部分，所以我希望运行“apt-get upgrade”可以解决这个问题。但当它完成后，我仍然在 2.6 版本。我发现这一页建议我使用以下命令安装一些软件包：
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04
现在，当我尝试安装该软件包时，我收到以下消息。我尝试在 Google 上搜索解决方案，但没有找到。
root@server:~# sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04
