Hi!

Do this:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa
sudo apt update

Hope this gives you what you want!

Best regards!

Serban,
Thanks for the information and the help is appreciated, I am still a novice with Linux Lite and those of you who are proficient with all things Linux might find it difficult to see things from my point of view as a 32 year user of Windows OS'.  I hope one day to not be a novice any longer.

[member=2]Jerry[/member] I checked my repository is USA, my question is this; am I to select a specific mirror from the list?  I'm a bit confused on this because if that is the case then I am not sure how to select a specific mirror.  Could give me some clarity regarding this subject.

When you do an update from the command line - do you get a few Skipping messages?

Code:

sudo apt update

Messages like...

Code:

W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'pool/ .....'

It may the repos are jacked up? :032:  = I'm getting these in the CLI but Install Updates says up to date


Or have you change them ===
May want to try - Lite Tweaks - Package Repair

Thank you for being patient!
As for me, I'm a novice in many Linux (or whatever OS) things! I usually learn "on the fly". That is: "On a need to know basis". If I encounter some trouble, I search, then I do my best to understand then APPLY. Usually, it works. If I still fail, then I ask people around.

I do my best to remember how I was back then! (1997). I find it very important! It keeps me safe from being arrogant, to say the least!
And I also have some 17 years of Win. About 10 of those, were dual booting Win/Linux. At the time, I used Red Hat, then Mandrake and then Ubuntu.

And I like to remember a line from Avatar: "There's always a bigger bird in the sky!"
And this is true! There's always someone that is way better than me! Always! Keeping this in mind, is very useful!

By the way: I looked again in Synaptic. Nothing! Still 91.11.0. It seems that there is some invisible error that holds the 102.3 version from being installed.

As for the version itself, I like the "Update" option in the new version. It's far more useful. The UI design, also looks more useful (from a practical perspective).
Overall: I like it!

Best regards!

I haven't done many apt-update but I haven't run into any problems like you have described.  I receive updates on a regular basis except for Thunderbird mail and Mozilla Firefox, also the clamav version update is lagging sometimes but all of the rest seem to be updating just fine.  I'm still taking baby steps using the command line for anything and I'm very careful when I do.  As Serb has said about Thunderbird mail, it is stuck out there somewhere and the only way to receive the new version is to download it through the terminal, I can wait for now, thanks for all of your help.  Now if I could just get my printer problem figured out!

@Serban S,
Thanks for the help and encouragement, eventually I will get more comfortable with Linux.  Miles to go before I sleep.

That's what I'm meaning -- the errors I see are as if the underlying repo has a 'typo' if you will.. Its skipping the pool directory where the thunderbird update (among others) resides... If I traverse the repo I can find the newer version... its likely an upstream Ubuntu issue, though I haven't dug too deep into... But alas I too use US repos and see the same..
