[SOLVED] upgrade The following packages have been kept back:

[mint_aero]

When I run sudo apt upgrade I get this output:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  libfprint-2-2 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 4 not to upgrade.

Why has it kept 4 packages back as not to upgrade?

Thanks for your help

try a dist-upgrade

Code: Select all

sudo apt dist-upgrade

[mint_aero]

Still no luck

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

i tried now the command suggested in the link, i had the same packages as yours not upgradable, solved with the command suggested

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --only-upgrade packagename

I our case

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --only-upgrade libfprint-2-2 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data

[mint_aero]

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --only-upgrade libfprint-2-2 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data

Sorted.

Thanks Olaf.

well, if I may, I suggest changing the title of the discussion with something more specific, so it can be more useful for future searches, a title like this
