w/o removing the libtmp.so.6
smart upgrade --update --explain --stepped
upgrade upgrades installed packages
- --update updates the package database
- --stepped allows installation of singular packages including their
dependencies Y/N
- --explain denotes the dependencies/requirements
this information is all available in the man pages/docs and/or from
the commandline, ie:
smart upgrade --help
smart install --help
smart --help
.....
<rant> One of our biggest contunual gripes is the "lack of"/"poor
quality of" documentation. We should at least try the
documentation as some of it makes sense even to me :^)
