Upgrading Debian Packages

Debian Package Upgrade

By default Debian release uses snapshot at the time of release. The package upgrade requires manual addition to the latest apt resources.

Warning

• Latest debian.org packages may break your application libraries stack of your existing application.
• Please verify your application and package dependencies before upgrading to latest Debian packages.

Adding debian.org to apt source list

# echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian_update.list
# echo "deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian_update.list
# echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian_update.list
# echo "deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian_update.list

Updating package repo

# apt-get update

Upgrading to latest package

# apt-get --only-upgrade install <package name>

Note: The --only-upgrade option upgrades the package only if it is already installed, without actually installing any new packages.

For example, if you wish to upgrade apache2, below is an example of it.

# apt-get --only-upgrade install apache2
