Bug Description
Running Kubuntu 22.04 LTS (lsb_release -a: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS) I was informed that new packages are available and I just hit update. This caused my system running 5.15.0-76-generic to be switched to 5.19.0-
I noted this as I was now running into bugs like https:/
The update was, as stated in history.log:

Commandline: packagekit role='update-
Requested-By: cm (1000)

=> This simple update was changing my kernel from 5.15 to 5.19 without a request from my side

Same problem on 23.04 just now, I only had generic kernels installed, hit update, and find update-manager trying to install lowlatency and oracle kernels.
The difference is that installation failed for me, and I now have two half-conf packages :
iF linux-image- 6.2.0-1005- oracle 6.2.0-1005.5 amd64 Signed kernel image oracle 6.2.0-1007- lowlatency 6.2.0-1007.7 amd64 Signed kernel image lowlatency
iF linux-image-
Our version numbers are different (22.04/23.04), but it can’t be a coincidence.
