When trying to update my Ubuntu 20.04.6 via sudo apt dist-upgrade the upgrade of libcurl3-gnutls:i386 is kept back.

~$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

#
# An OpenSSL vulnerability has recently been fixed with USN-6188-1 & 6119-1:
# CVE-2023-2650: possible DoS translating ASN.1 object identifiers.
# Ensure you have updated the package to its latest version.
#
The following packages have been kept back:
  libcurl3-gnutls:i386
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

sudo apt list --upgradable -a turns out this:

 ~$ sudo apt list --upgradable -a
Listing... Done
libcurl3-gnutls/focal-updates 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.19 i386 [upgradable from: 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.18]
libcurl3-gnutls/focal-security,now 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.18 i386 [installed,upgradable to: 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.19]
libcurl3-gnutls/focal 7.68.0-1ubuntu2 i386

I don't understand this output. How should I proceed? I have very limited knowledge of Ubuntu, using the terminal mainly for upgrading. Are the message about the OpenSSL vulnerability and not upgrading libcurl3-gnutls:i386 somehow related?

Does this answer your question? ["The following packages have been kept back:" Why and how do I solve it?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/601/the-following-packages-have-been-kept-back-why-and-how-do-i-solve-it) and [How to force "packages that have been kept back" to be installed as "automatic"?](https://askubuntu.com/q/1420969/)

Thanks for the links. The second one was the solution: to just wait until the problem is fixed by itself and not force the upgrade. Today, I ran `sudo apt update` , the upgradable-list didn't include _libcurl3-gnutls:i386_ anymore and all other upgrades were succesfull.

I'd say the other link was the solution. The first link says to use `apt-get dist-upgrade` (solution 3), but I used `apt dist-upgrade`. Am I right that they don't do the same??

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
