chris z Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 first, make sure you have your sources set. the easy method for that can be found here easy urpmi . then, once your sources are set, open a terminal, su to root, & type this urpmi (name of package) hit enter, & it will search your sources. it may find one match, or several. if the latter is the case, do urpmi (exact name of package) & enter. it will tell you if it needs any depends & ask you if you want them too. answer "yes" & let it do it's thang.

mtweidmann Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 There isn't a specific upgrade command if thats what you mean, just go through the normal install process (as explained by chris z). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 If you have good sources (update, contribs, etc) and you run urpmi blah and it runs for a few seconds and says: Everything already installed It means that there were no packages found in your sources that are newer than the one you have installed. urpmi automatically knows it needs to upgrade if something is already installed, just don't put the version number of the program that is already installed.
