29 packages can be updated - How? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Try these commands (although the third one may not be necessary for you):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

A reboot may or may not be necessary (sudo shutdown -r 0)

Solution 2:

When you ran apt-get upgrade, where there any "not upgraded"? Eg:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Looking at 0 not upgraded. If there were ones that were not upgraded, run apt-get dist-upgrade
