Not for certain without more information. The most likely answer is that to upgrade that package, apt-get would have to install one or more new packages that you don't already have installed; 'apt-get update' will never install or remove packages, only upgrade existing ones. If you want to let it install new packages or remove installed packages in order to complete the upgrade, run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' instead. Or you might try using 'apt upgrade' or similar; I don't use the 'apt' command myself, so I'm not familiar with exactly how things work on that side of the fence, but I understand that the behavior is different and it may match more closely to what you're expecting. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
