Unable to update and upgrade 7 security updates

Post by doulos9 »

I am now on a 2-core VDS with Ubuntu 16.04 but unable to upgrade the latest security updates. It was working flawlessly yesterday before I up'd it from a 1-core to a 2-core. I tried several times and each time get the following....

Code: Select all

Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-116-generic x86_64)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com
 * Management:     https://landscape.canonical.com
 * Support:        https://ubuntu.com/advantage

7 packages can be updated.
7 updates are security updates.

Have you also tried "apt-get dist-upgrade"? It does a bit more in terms of what it changes.

(As a separate note, since you are logged in as root, you shouldn't need the "sudo" at the beginning, which also would only apply to your first command.)
