Also, Linux Lite's not a rolling-release distro nor is Ubuntu so don't expect updates to come every week, every day.

For those who may experience some issues/problems while performing/wanting to update & upgrade Linux Lite, here are a few, just a few, of the many, many posts you can find [...]
Hi!
That IS awesome! I gave you a "Thanks!" :)
I also posted many answers on this topic, but as I see, many people have a hard time finding the posts with the solutions.
Most cases, are PPA related, as far as I could notice from the APT/DPKG outputs.

Best wishes! :)
