I'm confused about how the package management system works in the case I'm about to describe. I found similar questions on askubuntu but I don't understand the system well enough to apply what I read to my situation, namely:
I first installed Apache2 version 2.4.7 from the repo. But, in order to get some advanced modsecurity firewall rules to work, I installed version 2.4.10 by downloading a .deb from the official Ubuntu site at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2.
So, is my system going to automatically check for updates on this package? I assume I'd get none until if and when the repos are updated to contain 2.4.10. But maybe I'm wrong about that.
And more importantly, is there a general way to tell by using apt
if a package is being checked for updates?
