Some software requires adding additional repositories that the package manager browses for updates. At least in the case of R, the version in the Ubuntu default repository is not always the most recent one. Adding a repository and key from the R project fixes that. This might be similar for Python.

Is there a specific reason why you want to upgrade the machine?
root@darni ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/python3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 5 12:00 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.9 root@darni ~ # aptitude search elpy i elpa-elpy - Emacs Python Development Environment root@helos ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/python3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 25 2018 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.6 2018 ! root@helos ~ # aptitude search elpy root@helos ~ # oh dear. Not there at all. I need this to do python coding, to work on the Lebach stuff. Yeah, I could code on trabbi and upload, or do some intra-emacs ssh wizardry, but the point is this is very old stuff. I may have to move ArcEc to helos. I'm at 95% on darni. But first we need space in helos. I hope that Lebach will do that. Actually I found that python3.8 seems available, but I have to install it manually. I'm doing this right now. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel
