Full Version: Difference between xbian-config and apt
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi,

Recently I noticed that sometimes there are no updates available in 'xbain-config' but are available via 'apt upgrade'
I tried looking for an answer for this in the forums\FAQ\github but cannot find it. My apt sources.list is up to date.

Is there any reason for this difference? (perhaps stability?)
Can you show an example ?
I believe some packages are pinned but dont know how this affects apt upgrade.

That's right, because xbian-config is using a local package cache file, which is not always up to date (usually it will be actualized once a day)
For example, yesterday I was running XBian 20171002 and in xbian-config there was no update.
When using apt upgrade XBian 20171110 was available.

Edit:
By the way I ran option 1, 2 and 3 in the xbian-config update section.
