Greetings,

I have a very quick question.

Exactly what does apt-get update do?
I know apt-get install installs named program, and apt-get remove deinstalls it. But does update mean I update all my apps or just the repos?

Thanks

It re-reads the information from the repositories to find new and updated packages (apps) that are available for you to install.

But doesn't install them? Meaning I have to go to the appmanager > update to accually update them?

You can upgrade any apps that have newer versions in the repo's with:

Code:

apt-get upgrade

That's sounds very usefull! Is that used apt-get upgrade _name of app with new version available_ or just apt-get upgrade to install all new versions?

Just:

Code:

apt-get upgrade

- try it and see!

Tip: for help on any Linux command do a google for "man <name of command>" - eg http://www.google.com/search?q=man%20apt-get - 'man' in this case stands for 'manual'

Tip specifically for apt-get

The options are summarized nicely in xterm.

As root, just type apt-get help

Hi,

I seem to have problem with apt-get update. Tried several times both with OVI catalog activated and de-activated. Both times with no luck. You can see the result from X terminal. I should mention that I did a flash on my n900 after failing to install Ntroid couple of weeks ago. I need to update my n900 in order to install carman. I had this app installed Before in my phone and it worked good.
