How to upgrade ubuntus package?

Posted on February 12, 2017

Hi.

I was install Nginx and MariaDB using default ubuntu repository few month ago. and i want to upgrade nginx or mariadb more lastest version using another PPA.

Is it ok just add lastest PPA (like deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/10.1/ubuntu trusty mainand) and then apt-get install update && upgrade?

or need to uninstall Nginx and Mairadb after, just install new version?

Thank you.

If you’re wanting to upgrade by using another repository, to prevent potential conflicts, you’d want to uninstall, add the repository, update, and then reinstall.
