Problem 1:Update Pangolin to Quantal and Update/Upgrade
Short question.

> install BlEnDer

Of you are not sure about the exact name of the package you want to
install, you can search for it.
Your results may differ on an Ubuntu system (I'm on Debian Testing), but
the commands are the same. You can use either 'apt-cache' or 'aptitude'
(You do not need root rights to perform a search for a package!):
I tried: sudo apt-cache update
This is not valid.
aptitude search blender
i blender - Sehr schnelle und vielseitige Suite für
3D-Modellierung/-Rendering
i blender-dbg - debug symbols for Blender
p blender-ogrexml- Blender Exporter for OGRE
p blender-ogrexml-1.8 - Blender Exporter for OGRE
p yafaray-blender2.5-exporter - transitional dummy package for
yafaray-exporter
*
So what do I have to do for install blender?
I did sudo apt-get install blender.
Is this enough?
'aptitude indicates whether a package is installed: 'i' at the beginning
of the line or not : 'p' (Don't know what that stands for, maybe
potential install candidate?)
apt-cache search blender
What programme do I need?
Is is enough to install blender?
I am using now blender and gimp and inkscape.

Can I export blender pictures to gif?
Surprisingly 'apt-cache search' (that is the command for the apt-get
tool) finds more packages. I didn't expect a difference here. Both are
not only looking for the search term 'blender' in the package name but
also in the description for the package, so you will get more than the
package itself.
I am trying:
apt-cache search update.
This is producing a long list.
Please somebody help to do the update from Pangolin to Quantal.
Or by terminal.
Should I change one file and then I can do the update?
*
BTW: Does anyone know why 'apt-cache' finds more packages than 'aptitude'?
*
Sorry I am newbie.
As far as I know, there is no problem using both 'apt-cache' and
'aptitude' for search, in contrast to being advised to stick to one tool
when installing packages. You are actually not modifying your system
when searching. Please correct me someone, in case I'm wrong on this point.
*
Thank You.
For search I can use both apt-cache and aptitude
but maybe for install it is dangerous.
How can I find the "update-software"?
What is the difference between update and upgrade?
Should I also update Firefox and Audacity and the rest of the software?
Regards
Sophie
