I found this thread about the same issue:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1411986/livepatch-behaviour-and-restart-in

It suggests doing this to solve it:
 apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && sudo reboot

But that is exactly what I have done multiple times and the messge still
persists! I have rebooted twice to no avail.

What is going on and why does it not stop????
