As shown in the script there are many "gets" but when I do an "Upgrade" nothing is downloaded, Installed. Why is this?

Reading package lists... Done

And doing the Upgrade results in this,,,,

$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Again why was nothing upgraded?

Thanks

Because your system is up to date....

fatmac
what I do not understand is all my updates are set to retrieve manually and every morning the updates are checked for availablility and if so they are manually upgraded/installed. Yesterday morning doing an update as shown they are available so I upgraded but the result shows none were upgraded, installed. If such is the case how would my system be up to date?

Thanks for your reply fatmac.

How long before this upgrade attempt was it since your last? If you upgrade too soon there may not be anything to upgrade.

Those gets will download the newest package lists, not the packages themselves. And no new packages were found.

mrmazda
the previous upgrade would have been 2-3 days prior.

thanks pan64

Yep..answered yesterday, and last year as well:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...li-4175714451/

Essentially the same question. All the terms were explained in last years thread. Not sure why the OP asked it twice, but perhaps they wanted a different answer.
