7 packages can be updated. 7 updates are security updates.
I did:

and nothing was installed.

After logging in, you can check for and apply new updates with:
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and a restart is usually required following the installation.
$ sudo shutdown -r now
An “apt upgrade” will install most package upgrades. In my experience, the last few stragglers tend to be kernel related; “apt full-upgrade” handles those guys.
