Apt-get update question on Linux headers
Mostly just curious since everything works but in the essence of learning I'd like to know what this means.
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade It is easy to see what is held back, so the question is why? I'm running Linux Mint 10 Gnome edition. Code:
uname -a |
Probably because upgrading one of those packages would require installing or removing a new package. Try "apt-get full-upgrade".
|
Try:
Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Code:
man apt-get |
Note; dist-upgrade is the old term for full-upgrade.

Huh. So I am. I don't ever use apt-get anymore. +helpful

Thanks I'll try that later tonight.
So if I understand correctly an image file is awaiting but since this is a major update it requires the other commands. I regularly use apt-get update and upgrade but only a once on a Ubuntu box upstairs did I ever use the dist-upgrade command. I will post the results later.

That was exactly it. Using apt-get dist-upgrade installed the following header.
Code:
Linux 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:36:48 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux |
