Hi, I start to learn linux OS since a few month ago. I have a
dedicated server, and I need install squid, but if I make "apt-get
install squid" the version that Im installing is 2.5 and I need at
least 2.6. I try doing "apt-get install squid.2.6" but nothing
happend. Anyone can help about how upgrade my repository list?
Sounds like Debian.
If you have a GUI it shoudld be under System->Administration->Software
Sources
For command line it's in /etc/apt/sources.list
Depends on what you want to change. The latest squid packages are only
in testing or unstable repositories. In sources.list change URL words
'stable' to 'testing' and running
apt-get update
then
apt-get install squid
(to stay on stabel but with new squid):
edit sources.list again to remove your changes.
run apt-get update all over again.
BE AWARE: the package manager is likely to upgrade many package squid
depends on from the testing repository. Once you have non-'stable'
software installed the packaging system does not like to downgrade them
so removal may be an issue.
For the record I've found very few problems running a server on just the
software in Debians official testing repositories. Only once a year or
so the bug none else has hit yet.
