If you want is to _upgrade_ already installed packages use
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
instead. There is no apt sub-command to upgrade just one.
The point with packages is that they may have further dependencies; the
strength of this tool is to resolve that graph for you. And I have been
running it (on average) at least once a day (given several machines) for
many, many. You can trust it.
Thanks Dirk. I just tried doing:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I was told:
The following packages will be upgraded:
r-cran-class
1 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 87.0 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,024 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
So I said "y" --- and immediately crashed into the same problem as before:
Failed to restart avahi-dnsconfd.service: Unit avahi-daemon.service is masked.
invoke-rc.d: initscript avahi-dnsconfd, action "restart" failed.
● avahi-dnsconfd.service - Avahi DNS Configuration Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/avahi-dnsconfd.service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
There is something wrong in my system in respect of this "Avahi DNS
Configuration Daemon" --- but I have no understanding or insight as to
what is actually wrong or how to fix it.
How can I get the "avahi-daemon.service" to be *unmasked*? How can I
get the avahi-daemon.service to restart?
Can anyone give me any guidance or pointers? Please!!!
cheers,
Rolf
