That's quite a bold statement. May we redirect all upgrade issues to you 
in the future? :p

Kind regards,

After all these years I thought nobody cared. Nice of you to ask.

There should be an orange or red star shaped icon on the Gnome panel (bottom

Find `update manager' in our menu system and click it to run updates.

Other wise (Being in an X session is required) become root in a
terminal and type `synaptic':

Best bet if finding the menu item.
