Upgrade from 19.2 to 19.4

[Member jeanpat]

Hello,
I have antix 19.2 up to date:

$ uname -a
Linux antix1 4.9.212-antix.1-486-smp #2 SMP Sat Feb 1 14:47:26 EET 2020 i686 GNU/Linux

I supposed that apt dist-upgrade was sufficient to upgrade to the last version:

jeanpat@antix1:~
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

But antix is still on 19.2

Thanks for your help.

I think that system info always points to the version of antiX that was originally installed, not the version it was updated to. That can be confusing, but it helps when providing assistence, since an updated antiX is never exactly the same as a fresh installed antiX…

If you are up to date (as installed all updates, via terminal, synaptic or antiX-Updater), the you are up to date.
The system info will not change so that we can figure out when you have a problem from what version you started.
See my system:
OS: antiX-19.2 Hannie Schaft
It will still say antiX 19.2 even if I upgrade to antiX 21 in the future, and this is a better solution because a lot of people ask for help and don’t say or cannot remember from what version they started out from (and some people don’t update the system in months, so some bugs that only happen to them cannot be reproduced on the newer revisions).

To summarize, if
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
says you are up to date, you are up to date.

So to get 19.4 you just have to install 19.4

19.X IS JUST A NUMBER. Nothing more.
To make sure you are up to date do in terminal:
LANGUAGE=C sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
and share the output if there is another error.

If you want to install the latest libreoffice, use the package installer and install LATEST version.
Example: install French_LO_Latest_full using the package installer to install latest version of libreoffice 7.X in french
