Hi

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

Please help.

The search tool gives the following threads:

- https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3885

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.

Re: upgrade to latest version

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.
