Ubuntu: dist-upgrade instead of upgrade

Post by chrisb »

I had used "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" to keep my freecad-daily up to date. I want to point out, that this did not work since a couple of days because there were some dependencies to new python files.
So it is better to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" instead.
Edit: correction made respecting the following post.

Of course, thanks for the hint. Without this correction it would have been one of most useless posts. I edited my first post.
