Kernel & LibreOffice packages held back during upgrades

(1/2) > >>

Jerry:
New Packages that have been kept back section added to Help Manual under Software section.

Jerry:
I'm going to add a Held Packages section to the next version of the Help Manual.

I'm curious Valtam -- what is the difference between upgrading LibreOffice through Synaptic vs. through the normal Updates script (which is identical to Kirkx's commands)?

I had thought that since the LibreOffice PPA is being used, that would pull in the latest updates/upgrades for it.  If that's not the case, then what is the PPA pulling in?

Jerry:
I would recommend upgrading LibreOffice as there is a bug in the current version, see this thread here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=736

Kirkx:
When you have a closer look at what's behind "Install Updates", which can be easily done by analyzing that entry in Alacarte (Main Menu), you will see that "Install Updates" is nothing more than a script that runs the command mentioned at the beginning of my first post:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
--- End code ---
