Is apt-get working?

[maverik35]

Upgrades installed packages to their most recent version, removing or installing packages as necessary. This command is less conservative
than safe-upgrade and thus more likely to perform unwanted actions. However, it is capable of upgrading packages that safe-upgrade cannot
upgrade.



I totally agree.

I'm very pleased that someone is reading the "man aptitude"...That is the way to learn..Congratulations fmsam, great contribution to the community..

By the way, did you like reading the "man aptitude"?..See how easy it is..Now you learned a lot and know all options to aptitude..

Luck.

The repositories haven't been updated in a while.
The last 'close' (e.g. what could of been pushed out), was on (20120-08-18)

I am still getting:
"...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
..."
when i run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.

This is on a BT5 R3 32bit KDE. This was not an upgrade but rather a fresh install in august.
Updates seemed to work for a while after the installation, but then stopped.

Seems like it been like this for awhile.

Hi,

I installed BT R3 64-Bit Gnome in VMWare environment. When I try to run "apt-get update" command, I do not get any error and it hits some repositories as well. Then I execute "apt-get upgrade" and the result is always (i.e. in the last 2 months) "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Is this normal? I do expect that some updates exist sometimes within repositories? I did install synaptic. Could it crash some configurations?

try:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
