Yow: I found I had inputed the above suggestion wrong and was not including
the 'dist' in: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Okay: did it, and now I have this prompt:
A new version of configuration file /etc/default/grub is available, but
│
│ the version installed currently has been locally modified.
│
│
│
│ What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?
│
│
│
│ install the package maintainer's version
│
│ keep the local version currently installed
│
│ show the differences between the versions
│
│ show a side-by-side difference between the versions
│
│ show a 3-way difference between available versions
│
│ do a 3-way merge between available versions (experimental)
│
│ start a new shell to examine the situation
Yowch: what should I do? Choose: "Keep the local version currently
installed". ?
Thank you.
