Earlier this year I had to pin my kernel because an update came down the pipe that broke WINE compatibility with Win16 apps. I followed the directions here: How to skip kernel update?

It appears as though the issue has been fixed because tests have shown that Win16 applications once again work with later kernel builds. I've removed the changes I made, but the kernel is still not updating. What am I missing?

Okay, TONS and TONS of hits on how to pin a kernel, but not one blessed article I can find on the entire internet on how to "unpin" the kernel and let allow it to be updated again? That's just INSANE.

In any event, I never did find out how to "unpin" the kernel, BUT I went to this link: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kernel/

And I pulled down the latest AMD64 kernel, headers and extras for Trusty and just installed them manually and rebooted. I'm finally on a later kernel, and since I am no longer on the "pinned" kernel, I think it should upgrade normally from now on.
