Unable to upgrade from 20.04.2 to 20.04.3
I posted this question on askubuntu too https:/
Basically I got a Dell XPS laptop recently with Ubuntu pre-installed in it. After my initial login, the GUI did ask me to update software packages, which I did. I didn't pay attention to what was getting updated. But at the end of it, I noticed that my system has the following Ubuntu and Kernel releases.
lsb_release -a
-------
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (fossa-bulbasaur X55.1)
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
uname -a
--------------
Linux dev-linux 5.10.0-1045-oem #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 18 10:41:03 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Since 20.04.3 was released end of August 2021, I was hoping I would get to that release automatically through regular updates. Since that didn't happen, I manually did 'apt-get update' followed by apt-get upgrade (even tried dist-upgrade), but still no effect. The GUI updater also thinks my software is up-to-date.
One thing which I noticed recently is that my laptop has 5.10 OEM kernel in it (possibly shipped that way by the manufacturer itself). Is this why I am unable to come to 20.04.3 yet?
If so, is this expected behavior and at some point in the future will I be able to move to 20.04.3 via regular software updates?
If this is not an expected behavior, I can potentially file a bug with more details in it.

Meanwhile, I am posting all the command output which I had posted on askubuntu here again, for anyone's reference:
sudo apt-get update
