Update a Single Package Using APT

Update a Single Package Using APT

In this guide, we explore how to update a single package on Debian and Ubuntu systems using APT. Unlike `apt-get upgrade`, which updates all packages, `apt-get install –only-upgrade ` allows for updating specific packages. This command is essential for maintaining system stability without unnecessary updates. We also cover checking for updates, holding packages, and automating updates with cron jobs, providing system administrators with precise control over their package management.
