who me well i am runnin Ultimate (Ubuntu 9.10) and its happened in the past were other folks have tried to upgrade through the software centre and it has resulted in a broken system Correct me if somethings wrong - there is a difference between update and upgrade - and often upgrades are further up on the hierarchy of corrected software, like a newer version whereas update is an improvement in the existing version. So if someone has tweaked their system - overs days and months of use, this upgrade does something that disrupts other local customizations and may (has) even resulted in broken systems #sudo apt-get upgrade is a generic command for whatever repos are enabled in the first place. which takes the system to the next level rather then the improvements in the existing versions. which i think is diferent from # sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
