Comment on Any way to update the software in Raspian without updating the OS?

Maybe sudo apt upgrade package-name
I hardly ever have to upgrade just one package. Otherwise, you’ll need an updated .deb package and use dpkg

I’d rather update anything that’s old, as long as it stays on the same OS version (Bullseye and not Bookworm).
With newer versions of Raspian or any version of Linux, there seems to be a software update GUI that makes this pretty easy, but I’m taking stabs in the dark with this legacy version.

As long as your apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) are set to bullseye (and not eg. stable) you won’t “accidentally” upgrade to bookworm. At least that’s how it works in Debian, I assume raspbian is the same.

I appreciate that! Thanks.
