To update packages, I tried command

sudo apt update

which responded,

4 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

then,

sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt dist-upgrade

both responded,

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

then,

sudo apt list --upgradable

which responded,

apt-transport-https/jammy-updates,jammy-updates 2.4.8 all [upgradable from: 2.4.7]
apt-utils/jammy-updates 2.4.8 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.4.7]
apt/jammy-updates 2.4.8 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.4.7]
libapt-pkg6.0/jammy-updates 2.4.8 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.4.7]

how can i upgrade these 4 packages?

    Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

  • Thanks a lot brother, I individually install all packages listed apt list --upgradable using command sudo apt-get install <pkg-name> – Muhammad Taha Oct 04 '22 at 10:40

    Please understand the reason. All the apt packages are currently in phased updates (which is evident from several Q&A's on this site). So either patiently wait, or disable phased updates on your system. – Artur Meinild Oct 04 '22 at 10:41
  • When confronted by apt doing something unexpected, add the use of apt-cache policy <package_name> to your toolbox. – user535733 Oct 04 '22 at 10:54
