upgrade to latest version

Hi

I q4os 3.15 and want to upgrade to latest version, but it seems like the distro upgrade is not working.

Please help.

sjaved@sjaved-pc:~$ cat /etc/q4os_version
3.15.2-n1
sjaved@sjaved-pc:~$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

By the way, "dist-upgrade" does not mean upgrading from one distribution to the next one. It upgrades the current distribution with the latest packages available in its repositories. At least I believe it's the meaning.

apt-get/apt update: sync repos
apt-get/apt upgrade: install upgraded packages. If packages require NEW software as a dependency, skip installation of that package. If package requires REMOVAL of installed packages as a dependency, skip installation of that package.
apt-get dist-upgrade/apt full-upgrae: As upgrade, but WILL pull in new software as a dependency, and WILL remove installed software if that is a dependency.

That's the 1000 foot view of the difference.
