My aim was to switch from a testing to a stable repository. To do that I removed the testing repo, added the stable repo and then installed a specific version from the stable repository. Unfortunately I am now not able to upgrade to a newer version in the stable repository with apt upgrade
. I am told the package already has the most current version, which is not true. So any advice how I can enable upgrades again without having to purge the package altogether?
It was my fault. I had wrong version numbers in mind and thought the system would not upgrade to a newer version (that did not exist in reality). So everything worked as expected.
apt update
first to retrieve the latest list from the repos? Please update your question with this info. – Cliff Armstrong Jul 24 '19 at 15:15
