Sudo apt upgrade issue

[peter14222]

Sudo apt update says 8 upgrades are available.

When I run sudo apt upgrade I get:

peter@ThinkPad-T440s-Zorin18:~$ sudo apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing:
cpp-13 cpp-13-x86-64-linux-gnu gcc-13-base libfprint-2-2 libfprint-2-tod1
libmtp-common libmtp-runtime libmtp9t64
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.

Newbie here, what do I need to do?

Thanks

"The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing message indicates that specific packages are part of a gradual rollout process, not an error or system issue.

• Phased updates are a safety mechanism used by Ubuntu and its derivatives (like Linux Mint) to roll out updates in stages. This allows developers to detect and fix potential bugs or regressions before the update reaches all users.
• The packages listed — cpp-13 , gcc-13-base , libfprint-2-2 , libmtp9t64 , etc. — are being updated gradually. Your system is part of a group that hasn’t yet received the update, but it will be released to you soon, typically within a few days to a week.
• No action is required unless you are in a time-sensitive situation. The system is stable, and the update will eventually reach your system.
• If you must bypass phasing immediately (not recommended), use:

sudo apt -o APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates=true upgrade

This forces the installation of deferred updates, but may increase the risk of encountering untested issues.

Best practice : Wait a few days and run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade again. The updates will likely be available then.

I marked Swarf's post as solution as the answer provided is accurate.

And, it worked, all upgrades applied.

New V18 install so nothing to lose.

Thanks.

I ran into the same upgrade glitch today and this fixed it for me as well. It’s always those small dependency issues that trip things up!
