The instructions say to run dist-upgrade. I DON'T want to upgrade from
Lucid [at this time]! Can I safely run dist-upgrade and change ONLY
shotwell to the new version? Will other pgms also be changed to later
versions as well? I'm not clear on what will be 'upgraded', now that a
new LTS 'dist' is becoming available for 'upgrades'.

Thanks-

I run dist-upgrade whenever there's a new kernel to be installed. It does
not upgrade Ubuntu to the newest version.

You have to run 'do-release-upgrade' for that.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't see that in man apt-get, but I
now see it is a separate pgm.

My question about what else might be installed was, I think, answered.
Update manager popped up today and was offering to install dozens of
'new install' stuff as well as many others. Not sure what a lot of
this stuff does, but I assume it is safe since it is, presumably,
specific to Lucid. And - the new ppas are also there so I could just
install shotwell + dependencies if I wanted to.

Thanks much for the info,

rikona
