How can I remove or upgrade installed package ?
Cant tell u what version I have ( dont know how to do this in Debian which is not my favorite distro... )
Anyway this what I got:
Code:
myserv:/# uname -a
Linux myserv 2.4.24 #1 SMP Sat Jan 31 11:00:37 CET 2004 i686 unknown
I need to have the newest perl installed (ver 5.8.x). So far i have installed 5.6.x.
When I proceed command like this then I rceive:
Code:
/home/maciek# apt-get install perl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, perl is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
No it's not the newest !!!!!!!
