In general, it seems that for some reason there was a period of time (on a different box update-manager would offer me the complete set of packages) when for some unknown reason update-manager would offer only the minimal kernel and modules. This causes all sorts of HW related issues if the driver modules are either in the extra package or (like in the case of nvidia binary driver) are built on the system after updating the kernel (but that requires the headers).

For a start, when was the kernel update (for the 4.4.0-77 kernel which broke things) being offered? Yesterday at some point? And if anyone can remember, was there any hint shown that this would not be complete (like partial upgrade)?
