http://askubuntu.com – The btrfs tools package in 12.04 appears outdated and doesn't take advantage of the newer features such as scrub introduced in kernel v 3.0. How can I upgrade to a newer version? Do I need to compile from source? (HowTos)

I've installed apache2 on my ubuntu machine using the apt-get package manager. It installed apache 2.2.16. I'd like to upgrade to the latest (or at least a newer version) of apache2 but apt-get upgrade and update don't seem to find a newer version. When I type

apt-get install -s apache2

It tells me

apache2 is already the newest version.

Do I need to download this package manually?

Let's say Ubuntu's repositories features a package.

I install that package using apt-get.

I then add an additional source (with add-apt-repository) that lists either a newer or older version of the package.

Will apt-get always upgrade to the latest version, regardless of which source offers the latest version?

I have CrunchBang version 8 installed in my computer and I'd like to upgrade to CrunchBang Waldorf or Slater (a newer  version).How can I do the upgrade?

Hello,

I have an older computer that's pretty outdated. I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it but in an attempt to upgrade it, the OS is now no longer usable. I found a 9.10 live CD which I can run but installation has become a problem.

When I tried using a newer CD, I get an error that the CD was created too fast so it can't be read.

I'm running centOS 6.3 which comes with gcc 4.4.6 and I installed gcc 4.6.3 using these instructions.

But when I type gcc -v it still says gcc 4.4 is the version I'm using. The newer version is under /opt/gcc-4.6.3.

When I run a make command do I have to specify a path to use the newer gcc? If so how do I do this, or can I replace the older version fully with the newer one? Thanks in advance.

I installed ubuntu 12.10 lately.

In Synaptic I locked skype to version 2.2.0.35 and the package manager is correctly ignoring newer version (it doesn't select skype upgrade).

On the contrary, apt-get upgrade will propose the upgrade.

I know I could lock the package with echo "skype" | sudo dpkg --set-selections, but I'd like to have Synaptic changes being reflected in apt-get

After hearing about some of the features in 12.10, I decided to upgrade my Ubuntu from 12.04 LTS to the newer 12.10.
