The proposed is official as well. It just acts as a staging area. You get fixes 
sooner, but you might also face new problems. I did not want to sound as you 
did something bad. It was just strange that you had a more recent kernel than 
the security updates and said you only did security.
To have proposed enabled is highly appreciated if you have a computer which is 
not critical to be running, as it is the only way to have a broad testing on 
the kernels before they go to updates.

So, knowing there has been proposed enabled explains that. The question remains 
why the symbol versions do not match up. This certainly are external modules 
(sound comes from linux-ubuntu-modules and nvidia from linux-restricted-modules 
) but they are rebuilt when the abi changes.

So if you have access to that laptop again, could you verify that LUM and LRM 
have been updated to -24 as well for the rt kernel?
