(Solved) Updates held back. Sources ok?

[asdinnie]

Hi all.

I have used apt to update my lists and then wanted to upgrade.
However it gives me far too many updates being held back (12/18), mostly linux upgrades, bind, etc.
Suspect my sources are not ok or something a little more eclectic is not quite right.

Can anyone please confirm?

Many thanks

Andy

Re: Updates held back. Sources ok?

Are you using 'sudo apt-get upgrade' to upgrade?

To upgrade packages that (due to changed dependencies) require installation of new packages or removal of old packages, you need to use 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'.

Thanks Kubicle. That reply was faster than a speeding bullet.

Ahem. You were right. It appears that the dementia ward is calling my name loudly.
I have done the "dist-upgrade" before more times than cold dinners have been eaten in the Antarctic...

Cheers
