You did not say how you upgraded or installed software By default "apt-get" behaves different, than "apt" does, you temporarily could change the default by adding "-o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1" or permanently change the behaviour by editing the apt settings. I don't have at hand how to permanently edit the settings, Google is your friend. IOW running sudo apt full-upgrade -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1 sudo apt install -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1 <package> does the same as sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install <package> Regards, Ralf -- "Access to all language versions of Wikipedia was blocked in Turkey on 29 April 2017." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_censorship_of_Wikipedia#Turkey -- xubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
