You can try the following cli to keep your droplet up-to-date, clean and secure: apt-get update && aptitude dist-upgrade -y && apt-get autoremove -y HTH

You may also be interested in aptitude, which is a command-line, “graphical” interface to the package manager. It can be installed with the following command: sudo apt-get install aptitude After running sudo aptitude, the following basic commands are used for navigation: * Ctrl-T: open the menu bar. * +: mark a package for installation. * -: cancel the pending installation of a package. * g: Proceed to the package selection confirmation screen. * g: Press again to confirm your selection. * q: Or press to close the current view and return to the package list. These are the absolute basic operations, of course. For details, see the documentation: http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ Chapter 1 is a good starting point, and aptitude can really be a great tool to get to know!

You may want to also run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Run these two commands: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade say “y” when they ask you for confirmation
