It helps to report specific versions that you're seeing, i.e. what Ubuntu release you're using as well as the kernel version. The uname -a command can be used, but the contents of /proc/version_signature is a little more straightforward for identifying the specific version. Also note that you may need to refresh your apt lists information, either via update-manager or on the command line via apt-get update. What are the specific versions you are seeing?
