Just invoke a

This is to update the changes you made in /etc/apt/sources.list

This went well and I got a line on the screen telling me it was completed. But first I was prompted for pwd. All well it worked like a charm.

When this is done, invoke

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude safe-upgrade


This is to upgrade ktorrent(and maybe more packages from the backports) in this case.

This part was not so hands-on. Here I am left with many choices. First I am told that: "Unknown command «safe-upgrade»"

I am then told:
aptitude 0.4.4
Use: aptitude [-S fname] [-u|-i]
aptitude [choice] <"Not Translated due to lack of word"> .

Not sure what choice to make of this. I can see I have a rather long list of stuff to choose from, and I would hate to go wrong here.

Ok, I guess that this is supposed to make me able to choose to upgrade just this one application. Just the ktorrent for my part. But how will the code look like for me? What do I need to put in the terminal window to upgrade only ktorrent from the backport?

Or am I even on the right track here? Are my guesswork correct?

safe-upgrade is ignored probably because your aptitude version is older than mine. Use

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude upgrade

else, or if you want it less advanced use

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade

.

That part took care of the upgrading My system was upgraded, 168 different packages. But guess what I am still stuck with ktorrent 2.1 rather then the new one. When I now fire up synaptic package manager I can see that I am running 2.1 but that there is a new 2.2.4 version available. Dblchking this starting up ktorrent just confirm that I still run 2.1 of ktorrent. Will try to boot see if that helps.

I have even tried to update via synaptic now but still I am not able. I can update other thing via synaptic but now ktorrent. Any ideas why it did not get updated when I run the update commando? Even my open-office is now updated. Why not ktorrent? I have saved all text in the terminal window if that is needed to aid towards a stable ktorrent.

You could try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


instead, that will probably take care of this.

Thx stoeptegel. Wil try that as soon as I am home tonight. Surfing from work, must be quick

-One day I too will understand all them terminal commands! - meanwhile I am greatfull for all the help I get here.

Hmm, just the same as yesterday. Before all the updates started I could see that the same text that I have here today appeared on the terminal window:

Consecutiv packages am deemed back :
amarok amarok-xine compiz compiz-core compiz-gnome compiz-plugins ktorrent
libdecoration0 libxine1 libxine1-ffmpeg mplayer poppler-utils

0 upgraded , 0 newly was installing , 0 to away and 12 no matter upgraded.

As you see ktorrent is still not updated. And it will not update from synaptic either. Even when I try to force the update. I have no clues what to do here.

Well, i dunno this should have worked, are you sure ktorrent is not updated already?

Code: Select all

ktorrent -v

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy ktorrent

KTorrent: 2.1

As for now I do not make much sense of the last part here but maybe you skilled people know what to make of it. But I am trying to learn as we go here.
Thx for all the help, and I hope we can make the update for korrent somehow. From Windows world i know that most things are possible to hammer into shape so I guess we can do that for linux as well.

I am not able to get the update to work, And I am still running version 2.1.

I can see when in synaptic that there are some depandancies:

Code: Select all

ktorrent:

  depend on: kdelibs4c2a (>=4:3.5.7-1) but 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14.1 will become installed

  depend on: libart-2.0-2 (>=2.3.18) but 2.3.17-1 will become installed

  depend on: libc6 (>=2.6-1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 will become installed

  depend on: libfreetype6 (>=2.3.5) but 2.2.1-5ubuntu1.1 will become installed

  depend on: libgcc1 (>=1:4.2.1) but 1:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 will become installed

  depend on: libstdc++6 (>=4.2.1) but 4.1.2-0ubuntu4 will become installed

  depend on: zlib1g (>=1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1) but 1:1.2.3-13ubuntu4 will become installed



Could this maybe prevent me from getting it to work?

If this is not the case and I am far off pls guide me in the right direction.

Do i maybe need to update manually all them depandancies as well in order for ktorren to update?

No this shouldn't be the case. Only thing left in my mind is to check whether universe and multiverse are enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Otherwise i wouldn't know anymore.

My sources.list, just for fun.
