Hi, I think this needs to check an update's version directly rather than searching the package name itself.

Minor kernel security updates use their generic names (that point to the actual version) such as linux-generic, linux-image-generic, etc...

You could probably check if update.new_version contains the uname string.

@costagabbie: any chance of making the needed change(s), please?

Implemented by https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/commit/bebda4757b612408e8a7e2b383e2bd22e5146043.

There were a couple of things I didn't like in the PR:

• As Michael mentioned, you need to check the update version... there's no actual pkg for the new kernel, only the meta in the list.
• I preferred using try/except when dealing with best-effort features.
• I preferred using platform rather than parsing uname.
• I wanted to simplify the code... these one liners are OK in short doses but we it start adding conditions, we're better off developing the loops to gain more flexibility.
