I'm not attacking you, William, I'm asking for clarification. It doesn't make any sense to me that apt-get update wouldn't write its results to disk.
You don't need to apt-get update all the time, if it writes its results to disk. But if it doesn't, and you forget to next time you apt-get install, you run the risk of downgrading something you have installed (or otherwise corrupting it), don't you? > On Oct 19, 2015, at 08:28 , William Hermans <yyrk...@gmail.com> wrote: > > By the way Rick, how much did I charge you for the information I give out on > my blog ? > > On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 8:22 AM, William Hermans <yyrk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wait, what?
