apt-get update and upgrade do not upgrade the system
 
--Steps to Reproduce---
 apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.  It shows nothing to upgrade. But the kernel level is in an old version. 
 
New kernel packages are not shown in apt-cache. Somehow, the new packages are not being got from repo server when do apt-get update.

Executed on 16.04.3

Btw, not all the Ubuntu servers have that issues. I crossed check the
sources.list among the servers, there is no difference. So don't know
what caused some of them cannot get any update from ubuntu repo.
However, I can install individual packages via apt-get install command.

There is not any error during the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. It
showed nothing to upgrade.

The servers were able to manually upgrade for a long time. But all the
sudden, they are not upgradable. It looks it can not retrieve new kernel
level packages during the apt-get update. The highest kernel level can
be installed is 4.4.0-97.. not more higher..


HWS: I mirrored this problem description, to be able to get support for
getting this fixed. Even it seems to be an environment problem. But
direct Q&A will probably help....
