[SOLVED] Updating Nemo - how?
Ever since I started using Linux I figured out many other things, some of them even more complicated than a program update but there's still one I can't figure out how to do, namely - how to update Nemo. Synaptic indicates I have 3.6.4 and the latest Nemo version is 3.6.5. But the icon for the Nemo package is grey and when I right click on the package, there's no "select to update" - only 2 options to uninstall it.

For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.
Re: Updating Nemo - how?
True. But if Synaptic shows a newer version is available, Update Manager should display the same. And Update Manager would be able to install the update ... unless you have put something on the blacklist foolishly.

Re: Updating Nemo - how?
Code: Select all
$ apt update && apt policy nemo && apt list --upgradable
nemo/sylvia 3.6.5+sylvia amd64 [upgradable from: 3.6.4+sylvia]
nemo-data/sylvia,sylvia 3.6.5+sylvia all [upgradable from: 3.6.4+sylvia]
nemo-dbg/sylvia 3.6.5+sylvia amd64 [upgradable from: 3.6.4+sylvia]
nemo-preview/sylvia 3.6.2+sylvia amd64 [upgradable from: 3.6.1+sylvia]
Edit: it does't matter anymore, actually. I just switched to Thunar which is light years ahead of Nemo.
