I only have a traffic-limited mobile broadband connection at my disposal. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade wants to get ~500MB of data which is not feasible for me right now.
Hence, is it possible to only upgrade certain applications, e.g. Firefox?
I am quite aware that some libs must be upgraded as well, but 100MB a day won't hurt, 500MB do.
Basically, I want to split up the upgrade-process into little chunks over the month so I don't exceed my daily quota just by downloading updates.
Just simply write
sudo apt-get install firefox
apt will recognize it as a request for update as firefox is already installed. It will also update the dependencies.
Works for every package, which is listed after the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
You just re-install the package, For example: if you have installed chromium-browser, when you type "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" again, system will check if there is a new one in the repository and update it.
