Basically, I have this:

lucho@lucho-HP:~$ apt-cache policy dynare-matlab
dynare-matlab:
  Installed: 4.4.1-1build1
  Candidate: 4.4.1-1build1
  Version table:
     4.4.3-1~trusty1 0
        100 http://www.dynare.org/ubuntu/ trusty/contrib amd64 Packages
 *** 4.4.1-1build1 0
        500 mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Yet, apt-get upgrade won't upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.4.3. Given my limited knowledge of upgrade and dist-upgrade, the former is not upgrading because some other packages need to be installed/removed (i.e I need to update distro from 14.04 to ...?). So, without updating distro, is there any way to get the latest package working?

  • This might work. Notice that I want to upgrade the package, not reinstall it. Will this command upgrade the package? There is no info related to this in the apt-get manual.
